Biotic interactions explain seasonal dynamics of the alpine soil microbiome

This study shows biotic interactions explain more variation in alpine soil microbiomes than abiotic factors, with stronger effects in summer than spring.

Marine particle microbiomes during a spring diatom bloom contain active sulfate-reducing bacteria

The paper analyzes marine particle microbiomes during a spring diatom bloom and identifies active sulfate-reducing bacteria in the particulate fraction.

Transcriptional dynamics of methane-cycling microbiomes are linked to seasonal CH4 fluxes in two hydromorphic and organic-rich grassland soils

The paper links methane-cycling microbiome transcriptional dynamics to seasonal CH4 fluxes in two grassland soils using quantitative metatranscriptomics.

Rewetting of three drained peatlands drives congruent compositional changes in pro- and eukaryotic soil microbiomes through environmental filtering

The paper examines how rewetting drained peatlands affects pro- and eukaryotic soil microbiomes, identifying soil moisture and salinity as key drivers of community composition changes.

Eukaryotic rather than prokaryotic microbiomes change over seasons in rewetted fen peatlands

This study shows that eukaryotic microbiomes, not prokaryotic, change seasonally in rewetted fen peatlands, with distinct network structures and dynamics across fen types.

Tissue- and population-level microbiome analysis of the wasp spider Argiope bruennichi identifies a novel dominant bacterial symbiont

The paper analyzes the microbiome of the wasp spider Argiope bruennichi across tissues and populations, identifying a novel dominant bacterial symbiont present in all tissues and offspring.

Inter- and intra-domain functional redundancy in the rumen microbiome during plant biomass degradation

The paper examines functional redundancy in the cow rumen microbiome during plant biomass degradation, finding that methyl-reducing methanogens are strongly correlated with methane emissions.
