ABSTRACT Cryoconite holes are among the most biologically active and diverse limnic habitats on glacier surfaces. The apex cryoconite consumers, tardigrades and rotifers, are known to contribute significantly to the processing and composition of supraglacial (i.e., glacier surface) organic matter (OM).

ABSTRACT Epilithic biofilms along a latitudinal gradient of Arctic/alpine lakes and streams were analysed for their composition of algae (incl. cyanobacteria) and meiofaunal assemblages and correlated these with environmental variables. The composition of algal, meiofauna and nematode assemblages differed between lakes and streams.

ABSTRACT Aim Freshwater rock pools are ephemeral and fragile habitats that support specialised animal taxa. While distributed worldwide, these habitats are usually neglected and overlooked. We used DNA metabarcoding and metaphylogeographic approaches to study inter and intraspecific tardigrade biodiversity to identify their biogeographic patterns to ...

ABSTRACT Aim Genetic connectivity and local adaptation were examined across the distribution of the freshwater sponge Ephydatia muelleri. Because it occupies an exceptional breadth of freshwater environments across a broad geographic range, this species offers key insights into biogeographic processes shaping genetic structure and adaptation in inland ...

Grandmother Age Effects via Sperm Telomere Length and Egg Telomerase Transcripts
ABSTRACT The Lansing effect is a transgenerational age effect by which old parents tend to produce less viable descendants. Despite its importance for the evolution of lifespan and parental effects, the transgenerational nature of age effects and the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood.
