This study uses sedimentary ancient DNA to reconstruct ancient viral communities in lake and marine environments over the last glacial cycle, revealing stable virus-host relationships and environmental influences.

This study uses ancient DNA from marine sediments to infer dynamic land-plant carbon sources during the Last Glacial-Holocene transition, revealing vegetation dynamics and translocation patterns.

This study analyzes 60 brown algal genomes to identify genomic innovations and evolutionary patterns that enabled their adaptation to coastal ecosystems.

This paper uses ancient metagenomics and network analysis to show that cryosphere loss over 18,000 years drove ecosystem shifts in the Tibetan Plateau, refuting top-down herbivore control and highlighting keystone plant species.
