O Short-branch Microsporidia, Where Art Thou? Identifying diversity hotspots for future sampling

The paper identifies freshwater and terrestrial environments as diversity hotspots for short-branch Microsporidia to guide future sampling efforts.

Ubiquity of inverted 'gelatinous' ecosystem pyramids in the global ocean

The paper quantifies plankton community structure globally, revealing inverted biomass pyramids dominated by gelatinous organisms and predicting future shifts in oceanic carbon cycles.

Global observation of plankton communities from space

The paper uses satellite data and machine learning to predict global plankton community distributions with 67% accuracy, outperforming temperature and chlorophyll a alone.

Insight into diatoms diversity at two European coastal sites (LTER-MC in the Mediterranean Sea and SOMLIT-Astan in the Western English Channel) using a DNA metabarcoding approach

The paper uses DNA metabarcoding to analyze diatom diversity at two coastal sites, finding shared ASVs and suggesting internal growth factors influence diversity patterns.

FLAGELLAR MOTILITY DURING E. COLI BIOFILM FORMATION PROVIDES A COMPETITIVE DISADVANTAGE WHICH RECEDES IN THE PRESENCE OF CO-COLONIZERS.

This study shows that motile E. coli cells have a competitive disadvantage in biofilm formation, which diminishes in the presence of co-colonizers.

Exploring the phycosphere of Emiliania huxleyi: from bloom dynamics to microbiome assembly experiments

This study investigates the microbiome dynamics of Emiliania huxleyi blooms by analyzing bacterial communities from bloom and non-bloom conditions and their interactions over time.

Seasonal temporal dynamics of marine protists communities in tidally mixed coastal waters

The paper analyzes seasonal changes in marine protist communities using long-term data from microscopy and metabarcoding, revealing seasonal patterns and environmental influences.

4 SPECIES OF BACTERIA DETERMINISTICALLY FORM A STABLE BIOFILM IN A MILLIFLUIDIC CHANNEL: ASSEMBLY PRINCIPLES

The paper demonstrates that four bacterial species deterministically form a stable biofilm in a millifluidic channel through competition and physical interactions.

Ocean-wide comparisons of mesopelagic planktonic community structures

This study compares mesopelagic planktonic community structures across different oxygen conditions and identifies environmental drivers and community modules.

Genomic evidence for global ocean plankton biogeography shaped by large-scale current systems

The paper analyzes plankton genomic distribution across oceans to show how large-scale currents shape biogeography, revealing size-dependent patterns and basin-scale transport effects.

Environmental vulnerability of the global ocean plankton community interactome

The paper assesses the vulnerability of the global ocean plankton community interactome to environmental change using niche modeling and Tara Oceans data.

Eukaryotic virus composition can predict the efficiency of carbon export in the global ocean

This study links viral community composition to carbon export efficiency in the global ocean, finding that viral marker genes explain 67% of variation in CEE.

Plankton Planet: 'seatizen' oceanography to assess open ocean life at the planetary scale

Plankton Planet uses citizen science to collect global plankton biodiversity data via DNA barcodes, achieving comparable quality to Tara Oceans with a scalable, open-access approach.
