CARD-FISH in the sequencing era: opening a new universe of protistan ecology
Phagotrophic protists are key players in aquatic food webs. Although sequencing-based
studies have revealed their enormous diversity, ecological information on in situ abundance …

No jacket required–new fungal lineage defies dress code: recently described zoosporic fungi lack a cell wall during trophic phase
Analyses of environmental DNAs have provided tantalizing evidence for “rozellida” or
“cryptomycota”, a clade of mostly undescribed and deeply diverging aquatic fungi. Here, we …

Discovery of dark matter fungi in aquatic ecosystems demands a reappraisal of the phylogeny and ecology of zoosporic fungi
Our knowledge of zoosporic fungal phylogeny, physiology, and ecological functions, in
particular their role in aquatic food web dynamics and biogeochemistry, is limited. The …

Bacterial, archaeal, and eukaryotic diversity across distinct microhabitats in an acid mine drainage
Acid mine drainages are characterized by their low pH and the presence of dissolved toxic
metallic species. Microorganisms survive in different microhabitats within the ecosystem …

Short‐term dynamics of diversity patterns: evidence of continual reassembly within lacustrine small eukaryotes
The short‐term variation in the community structure of freshwater small eukaryotes (0.2–5
μm) was investigated in a mesotrophic lake every 2–3 days over one summer by coupling …
