Unifying microorganisms and macrograzers in rocky shore ecological networks

This study constructs an interaction network between macroorganisms and bacteria on a marine rocky shore, revealing varied trophic and non-trophic effects of mollusk grazers on bacterial groups.

A fungi hotspot deep down the ocean: explaining the presence of Gjaerumia minor in Equatorial Pacific bathypelagic waters

The paper identifies Gjaerumia minor in deep ocean waters, showing its abundance increases with depth and differs between Pacific and Atlantic oceans.

Marine picoplankton metagenomes from eleven vertical profiles obtained by the Malaspina Expedition in the tropical and subtropical oceans

The paper presents a dataset of marine picoplankton metagenomes from 11 vertical profiles, providing insights into functional and taxonomic connectivity between photic and bathypelagic zones.

Global biogeography of the smallest plankton across ocean depths

This study investigates how ecological mechanisms shape picoplankton communities across different ocean depths, finding that selection decreases and dispersal limitation increases with depth.

Linking extreme seasonality and gene expression in arctic marine protists

The paper builds a transcriptome catalog of Arctic marine protists over 13 months and finds that gene expression correlates with seasonality, with higher transcript diversity during polar night and light-dependent functions during polar day.

Disentangling environmental effects in microbial association networks

This paper introduces EnDED, a method to identify environmentally-driven associations in microbial networks, showing that combining methods reduces false positives in simulated and real marine microbial data.

Disentangling temporal associations in marine microbial networks

The paper investigates temporal dynamics of microbial associations in a Mediterranean Sea time series using a temporal network approach, finding annual cycles and seasonal variability in microbial interactions.

Disentangling marine microbial networks across space

This study examines how microbial associations change across different ocean depths and regions, finding that most surface associations disappear with depth and that associations are highly variable across space.

Microbial communities network structure across strong environmental gradients: How do they compare to macroorganisms?

This study compares microbial and macroorganism community structures across tidal gradients, finding similar zonation patterns and network attributes despite differences in species richness.

Elucidating the diversity of microeukaryotes and epi-endophytes in the brown algal holobiome

This study investigates the eukaryome of seven brown algal species using high-throughput sequencing, revealing novel microeukaryotic diversity and highlighting their ecological importance.

Long-term patterns of an interconnected core marine microbiota

The paper identifies a dynamic core marine microbiota in a Mediterranean coastal observatory over 10 years, showing seasonal variations and interactions among core taxa.

Seasonal niche differentiation between evolutionary closely related marine bacteria

This study examines niche differentiation among closely related marine bacteria, finding that niche similarity decreases with genetic divergence and that niche partitioning occurs within genera but not at broader taxonomic levels.

Evolutionary diversification of tiny ocean predators

This study examines four related marine picoeukaryotic predators, showing they have distinct genomic features and ecological adaptations that influence their coexistence and distribution.

Metabolic Architecture of the Deep Ocean Microbiome

The paper analyzes deep ocean microbial metagenomes to reveal functional diversity and metabolic strategies in the dark ocean.

The planktonic protist interactome: where do we stand after a century of research?

This study compiles and analyzes 2,500 ecological interactions among planktonic protists from 500 publications into PIDA, revealing trends in symbiosis, predation, and parasitism.

Uncovering the gene machinery of the Amazon River microbiome to degrade rainforest organic matter

The paper identifies gene machinery in the Amazon River microbiome involved in degrading rainforest organic matter, revealing novel genes and their functional roles in lignin and hemicellulose breakdown.

Marked changes in diversity and relative activity of picoeukaryotes with depth in the global ocean

The paper examines picoeukaryotic communities across ocean depth layers, finding stratification and distinct activity patterns, with highest activity in the mesopelagic layer.

Bacterioplankton dynamics driven by inter-annual variation in phytoplankton spring bloom communities in the Baltic Sea

The paper examines how inter-annual variations in Baltic Sea phytoplankton spring blooms affect bacterioplankton composition and function, finding that diatom-dominated blooms increase bacterial diversity and production, while dinoflagellate or specific diatom blooms reduce them.

Microzooplankton distribution in the Amundsen Sea Polynya (Antarctica) during an extensive Phaeocystis antarctica bloom

The paper examines microzooplankton communities in the Amundsen Sea Polynya during a Phaeocystis antarctica bloom, finding that dinoflagellates and ciliates dominate and graze on the bloom.
