Microbial abundance and diversity in river ecosystems are being increasingly investigated,
yet a synthesized understanding is still lacking. Here, studies of microbial abundance and …

Both planktonic and sediment bacterial assemblages are the important components of
freshwater lake ecosystems. However, their spatiotemporal shift and the driving forces …

The ecology of viruses has been studied only in a limited number of rivers and streams. In
light of a recent re‐appraisal of the global fluvial surface area, issues such as abundance …

The simple view of the classical phytoplankton–zooplankton–fish food chain (CFC) has
been replaced by a more complex framework, integrating microbial compartments (microbial …

We analysed total bacterial number and mean volume of cells at three sites in each of ten
floodplain lakes in the Middle Basin of the Biebrza River, North-Eastern Poland to test …

Recent studies reported comparatively lower heterotrophic bacteria (HB) abundances in
tropical regions, indicating that factors involved in bacterial losses could be more relevant in …

ABSTRACT The Amazon River watershed and its associated plume comprise a vast
continental and oceanic area. The microbial activities along this continuum contribute …

The ability of freshwater bacteria to secrete extracellular vesicles (EVs) upon interaction with
viruses remains to be established. Here, we investigated for the first time if freshwater virus …

Water turbidity is an important proxy to measure water quality and environmental conditions.
Based on extensive field data and Landsat data (2011-2018), this article developed a …

The critical roles of viruses in nutrient cycling are well established for marine ecosystems,
but less is known for freshwater viruses about diversity, seasonality, and relationships with …
