Development of Holocene lacustrine microbialites on the Iberian Peninsula: Insights into environmental and depositional controls using X‐ray CT and petrography

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microbial mats and microbialites are common in modern and ancient saline lacustrine environments and are highly responsive to biological and environmental factors. As such, they represent important sources of high‐resolution environmental data across a wide range of geological time. Nonetheless, interpretation of fossil mats is non‐trivial due

A tale of two microbialites: Stromatolites and microbially induced sedimentary structures

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microbialites are biosedimentary structures built by microbial mats. Five microbialite groups are distinguished: stromatolites, thrombolites, dendrolites, leiloites and microbially induced sedimentary structures (MISS). This contribution discusses the two most abundant microbialite groups in marine settings, stromatolites and MISS.

“Is This Edible Anyway?” The Impact of Culture on the Evolution (and Devolution) of Mushroom Knowledge

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Mushrooms are a ubiquitous and essential component in our biological environment and have been of interest to humans around the globe for millennia. Knowledge about mushrooms represents a prime example of cumulative culture, one of the key processes in human evolution.

Low‐Head Dam Removal Restores Biofilm Structure but Not Function in a Temperate Stream

open access: yesInternational Review of Hydrobiology, Volume 111, Issue 1, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Barrier removal is a common stream restoration practice aimed at restoring longitudinal connectivity, yet its effects on biofilm structure and function, through alteration of near‐bed hydrodynamics, remain unclear. Using a space‐for‐time substitution approach, we assessed how the presence and removal of a low‐head dam affect biofilm structure ...

Topic Modeling of Fatty Acid Studies: Evaluating Environmental Changes in Freshwater Ecosystems

open access: yesInternational Review of Hydrobiology, Volume 111, Issue 1, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Fatty acids (FAs) are biochemical molecules with vital structural and metabolic functions in all living organisms. Over the last decades, FA analysis in ecological studies has garnered significant attention due to its diverse applicability, such as taxonomic support for species identification, investigations on trophic interactions, and ...

The Elbe Estuary Microbiome Shifts With Salinity and Discharge and Depends on Fresh Organic Matter and Nutrient Availability

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Microbial diversity within the Elbe Estuary was found to be more strongly governed by seasonal variability, salinity, and discharge than by spatial heterogeneity. Oligohaline regions sustain high diversity, while nutrient and redox conditions drive functional shifts.

Viral Assemblages of a Hypersaline Estuary Show Divergent Responses to Freshwater and Temperature Disturbances

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Metagenomic assessment of viromes at two sites in Laguna Madre, a hypersaline estuary, showed unique viral communities. Extreme cold temperature changes showed a greater propensity to enrich AMGs toward oxidative phosphorylation and sulfur metabolism. Extreme shifts in salinity led to homogenized viral taxonomic groups more similar to those typically ...
