Dark carbon fixation (DCF), conducted mainly by chemoautotrophs, contributes greatly to primary production and the global carbon budget. Understanding the response of DCF process to climate warming in coastal wetlands is of great significance for model optimization and climate change prediction.

Divergent molecular strategies drive evolutionary adaptation to competitive fitness in biofilm formation ISME J. (IF 10.8) Pub Date : 2024-07-25 Mingxing Tang, Ruixue Yang, Zilin Zhuang, Shuhong Han, Yunke Sun, Peiyu Li, Kewei Fan, Zhao Cai, Qiong Yang, Zhijian Yu, Liang Yang, Shuo Li
Biofilm is a group of heterogeneously structured and densely packed bacteria with limited access to nutrients and oxygen. These intrinsic features can allow a mono-species biofilm to diversify into polymorphic subpopulations, determining the overall community’s adaptive capability to changing ecological niches. However, the specific biological functions underlying biofilm diversification and fitness

Carbon dynamics in high‐Andean tropical cushion peatlands: A review of geographic patterns and potential drivers Ecol. Monogr. (IF 7.1) Pub Date : 2024-07-22 Mary Carolina García Lino, Simon Pfanzelt, Alejandra I. Domic, Isabell Hensen, Karsten Schittek, Rosa Isela Meneses, Maaike Y. Bader
Peatlands store large amounts of carbon (C), a function potentially threatened by climate change. Peatlands composed of vascular cushion plants are widespread in the northern and central high Andes (páramo, wet and dry puna), but their C dynamics are hardly known. To understand the interplay of the main drivers of peatland C dynamics and to infer geographic patterns across the Andean regions, we addressed

Using mobile acoustic monitoring and false‐positive N‐mixture models to estimate bat abundance and population trends Ecol. Monogr. (IF 7.1) Pub Date : 2024-07-19 Bradley J.

Housefly gut microbiomes as a reservoir and facilitator for the spread of antibiotic resistance ISME J. (IF 10.8) Pub Date : 2024-07-18 Dehao Gan, Zhenyan Lin, Lingshuang Zeng, Hui Deng, Timothy R Walsh, Shungui Zhou, Qiu E Yang
Arthropods, such as houseflies, play a significant role on the dissemination of antimicrobial resistance (AMR); however, their impact has often been overlooked in comparison to other AMR vectors. Understanding the contribution of arthropods to the spread of AMR is critical for implementing robust policies to mitigate the spread of AMR across “One Health” sectors.

Globally distributed bacteriophage genomes reveal mechanisms of tripartite phage-bacteria-coral interactions ISME J. (IF 10.8) Pub Date : 2024-07-18 Bailey A Wallace, Natascha S Varona, Poppy J Hesketh-Best, Alexandra K Stiffler, Cynthia B Silveira
Reef-building corals depend on an intricate community of microorganisms for functioning and resilience. The infection of coral-associated bacteria by bacteriophages can modify bacteria-host interactions, yet very little is known about phage functions in the holobiont. This gap stems from methodological limitations that have prevented the recovery of high-quality viral genomes and bacterial host assignment

Phenotypic plasticity, which involves phenotypic transformation in the absence of genetic change, may serve as a strategy for organisms to survive in complex and highly-fluctuating environments. However, its reaction norm, molecular basis, and evolution remain unclear in most organisms, especially microbial eukaryotes. In this study, we explored these questions by investigating the reaction norm, regulation

In recent years, phylogenetic reconciliation has emerged as a promising approach for studying microbial ecology and evolution. The core idea is to model how gene trees evolve along a species tree, and to explain differences between them via evolutionary events including gene duplications, transfers, and losses. Here, we describe how phylogenetic reconciliation provides a natural framework for studying

Marine planktonic predator–prey interactions occur in microscale seascapes, where diffusing chemicals may act either as chemotactic cues that enhance or arrest predation, or as elemental resources that are complementary to prey ingestion.

The human microbiome is critically associated with human health and disease.

The complex evolutionary history of wheat has shaped its associated root microbial community. However, consideration of impacts from agricultural intensification have been limited. This study investigated how endogenous (genome polyploidization), and exogenous (introduction of chemical fertilizers) factors have shaped beneficial rhizobacterial selection. We combined culture -independent and -dependent
