Zooplankton impacts on the persistence of the anthropogenic pollution marker intI1 in lake water

G. Borgomaneiro, A. Di Cesare, C. Callieri, G. Corno, D. Fontaneto, R. Piscia, E. M. Eckert

This study investigates how zooplankton grazing affects the persistence of the intI1 gene in lake water, showing its association with aggregated microbial communities and vulnerability to grazing.

Climate-induced forest dieback drives compositional change in insect communities that is concentrated amongst rare species

L. Sire, P. Schmidt Yanez, W. Cai, A. Bezier, B. Courtial, J. Cours, D. Fontaneto, L. Larrieu, C. Bouget, S. Thorn, J. Müller, D. W. Yu, M. T. Monaghan, E. A. Herniou, C. Lopez-Vaamonde

The paper investigates the impact of climate-induced forest dieback on insect communities, finding compositional changes driven by rare species rather than salvage logging.

Habitat differences filter functional diversity of low dispersive microscopic animals

A. Martinez, G. Garcia-Gomez, A. Garcia-Herrero, N. Sanchez, F. Pardos, A. Izquierdo-Munoz, D. Fontaneto, S. Mammola

The paper examines how habitat differences influence functional diversity in marine mite communities across sea-grass meadow habitats, finding that habitat filters traits but has limited impact on species abundance.

Comparative genomics of bdelloid rotifers: evaluating the effects of asexuality and desiccation tolerance on genome evolution

R. W. Nowell, P. Almeida, C. G. Wilson, T. P. Smith, D. Fontaneto, A. Crisp, G. Micklem, A. Tunnacliffe, C. Boschetti, T. G. Barraclough

This study compares genome evolution in bdelloid rotifers to assess the impact of asexuality and desiccation tolerance, finding that desiccation is not the primary driver of genomic features previously attributed to asexuality.
