This study benchmarks metabarcoding and shotgun sequencing for quantifying marine nematode communities using mock communities, finding shotgun sequencing more reliable for cross-taxon abundance comparisons.

The paper investigates how infauna affect DNA and RNA virus communities in marine sediments, finding increased DNA virus abundance and activity under higher infauna conditions.

This study investigates how multi-trophic microbial interactions influence pollutant biodegradation in rivers, revealing the roles of prokaryotic and eukaryotic communities in mediating environmental effects.

This study examines how micropollutants affect planktonic food webs in urban rivers, finding stronger impacts in more urbanized areas with algal-mediated cascading effects.

This study identifies microbial communities and their hydrocarbon degradation genes in the Baltic Sea using metagenomics, revealing patterns linked to environmental factors and oil spill history.

This study examines how environmental factors shape the resistome in the Baltic Sea, finding that salinity and temperature are key drivers of ARG diversity and distribution.
