Molecular Ecology, Volume 30, Issue 14, Page 3530-3547, July 2021., 2021 Abstract Organisms well suited for the study of ecotype formation have wide distribution ranges, where they adapt to multiple drastically different habitats repeatedly over space and time. Here we study such ecotypes in a Crustacean model, Asellus aquaticus, a commonly occurring isopod found in freshwater habitats as diverse as streams, caves and lakes.

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 13, Issue 2, Page 195-208, April 2021., 2021 Summary Methylated amines are ubiquitous in the environment and play a role in regulating the earth's climate via a set of complex biological and chemical reactions. Microbial degradation of these compounds is thought to be a major sink. Recently we isolated a facultative methylotroph, Gemmobacter sp. LW‐1, an isolate from the unique environment Movile

Niphargus-Thiothrix associations may be widespread in sulphidic groundwater ecosystems: evidence from southeastern Romania. [PDF]
Mol Ecol, 2014 Abstract Niphargus is a speciose amphipod genus found in groundwater habitats across Europe. Three Niphargus species living in the sulphidic Frasassi caves in Italy harbour sulphur‐oxidizing Thiothrix bacterial ectosymbionts. These three species are distantly related, implying that the ability to form ectosymbioses with Thiothrix may be common among ...

Meiofauna in a chemosynthetic groundwater ecosystem: Movile Cave, Romania
, 2009 Die 1986 entdeckte Movile-Höhle stellt ein Grundwasserökosystem dar, das eine artenreiche Gemeinschaft von Wirbellosen beherbergt. Jedoch erreicht keinerlei photoautotroph produzierte Nahrung die Höhle, die seit mindestens der letzten Eiszeit vollständig von der Erdoberfläche isoliert ist.
