Simple Summary The metabarcoding approach is widely used for studying the diversity and
distribution of freshwater microalgae and for routine biomonitoring. Due to microalgae being …

High‐mountain streams are particularly vulnerable to climate change because they
intimately interface with the cryosphere. As glaciers shrink and snowpack diminishes …

The rapid recession of glaciers is exposing large zones to the development of embryonic
phototrophic ecosystems and eventual ecological succession. Traditionally, succession …

In proglacial floodplains, glacier recession promotes biogeochemical and ecological
gradients across relatively small spatial scales. The resulting environmental heterogeneity …

Glacial meltwater drains into proglacial rivers where it interacts with the surrounding
landscape, collecting microbial cells as it travels downstream. Characterizing the …

Viruses modulate the diversity and activity of microbial communities. However, little is known
about their role for the structure of stream bacterial biofilm communities. Here, we present …

Cross-domain interactions are an integral part of the success of biofilms in natural
environments but remain poorly understood. Here, we describe cross-domain interactions in …

Cross-domain interactions are an integral part of the success of complex biofilms in natural
environments. Here, we report on cross-domain interactions in biofilms of streams draining …

The metabarcoding methods for studying the diversity of freshwater microalgae and routine
biomonitoring are actively used in modern research. A lot of experience has been …

Deglaciation in mountain catchments changes water source contributions and associated
habitat conditions in usually cold and dynamic mountain rivers. Although recent research …
