The paper examines microbial communities in groundwater-dependent ecosystems on Lanzarote, finding that human activities significantly influence bacterial diversity and contamination levels.

This study finds high meiofaunal diversity in Antarctic marine sediments, driven by habitat type rather than environmental variables, and suggests limited taxonomic resolution of the 18S marker explains apparent global dispersal.

This study investigates how zooplankton grazing affects the persistence of the intI1 gene in lake water, showing its association with aggregated microbial communities and vulnerability to grazing.
