Microbially induced sedimentary structures in fluvial settings: the gas domes from the Bolzano Megacaldera (Permian, Italy)

open access: yesSedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 4, Page 914-944, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Gas domes serve as some of the earliest and most persisting indicators of life on Earth, yet their documentation in continental environments remains sparse. This study aims to bridge this gap by examining gas domes within the Permian fluvial succession of Monte Luco, located in the caldera of the Bolzano Supervolcano. These structures occur as

Off‐target metagenomics: Leveraging whole genome sequencing to study the bacteriome of the liverwort Calasterella californica

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, Volume 14, Issue 3, May-June 2026.
Abstract Premise The recovery of non‐target organism reads, especially when whole organisms are sampled, constitutes a great opportunity for studying microbial communities. The increase in whole genome sequencing feasibility and the development of new marker‐based pipelines enable the use of short reads to study bacterial communities associated with ...

High water-use efficiency and growth contribute to success of non-native Erodium cicutarium in a Sonoran Desert winter annual community

open access: yesConservation Physiology, 2014
Erodium cicutarium, an invasive plant, has recently increased in abundance in the Sonoran Desert. We tested hypotheses for its success, and found no evidence for a release from natural enemies. Instead, E.
