Nitrogen (N) and/or phosphorus (P) availability can limit growth of primary producers across
most of the world's aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. These constraints are commonly …

Approximately 10% of bacterial genomes are split between two or more large DNA
fragments, a genome architecture referred to as a multipartite genome. This multipartite …

Polyploidy is a key mechanism of genome evolution and speciation, particularly in plants.
Many aspects of polyploidy have been elucidated with the tools that have become available …

The high temperature, acidity, and heavy metal-rich environments associated with hot
springs have a major impact on biological processes in resident cells. One group of …

Angiosperms show a remarkable range in genome size (GS), yet most species have small
genomes, despite the frequency of polyploidy and repeat amplification in the ancestries of …

An analysis of over 10 000 plant genome sizes (GSs) indicates that most species have
smaller genomes than expected given the incidence of polyploidy in their ancestries …

Despite many decades of research, the allometric scaling of metabolic rates (MRs) remains
poorly understood. Here, we argue that scaling exponents of these allometries do not …

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) cause significant economic and ecological damage
worldwide. Despite considerable efforts, a comprehensive understanding of the factors that …

Microbial organisms inhabit virtually all environments and encompass a vast biological
diversity. The pangenome concept aims to facilitate an understanding of diversity within …

While the vast majority of genome size variation in plants is due to differences in repetitive
sequence, we know little about how selection acts on repeat content in natural populations …
