The paper shows that extreme rain events cause cyclic succession in microbial and plankton communities of a forest pond, with recovery occurring through four distinct phases.

This study uses long-read amplicon sequencing to reveal microdiversity and phylogeographic patterns in freshwater bacterioplankton lineages across lakes in Japan and Europe.

The paper detects freshwater diplonemids in multiple lakes, finds they form a new lineage, and suggests marine diplonemid diversity may be overestimated.

This study shows that habitat transition leads to genome reduction in Methylophilaceae microbes through gene loss and horizontal gene transfer.

The paper uses phylogenetic analyses and metabolic reconstructions to infer the lifestyle and metabolic environment of the closest archaeal relatives of eukaryotes, revealing microoxic lifestyles and novel metabolic pathways.

This study uses ecogenomics to explore the evolutionary history and genome architecture of freshwater Planctomycetes, revealing niche-driven genome reduction and specialized lifestyles.

The paper examines the diversity and distribution of freshwater Chloroflexi in various pelagic habitats, revealing their genomic diversity and ecological roles.
