Compared to the well‐studied open water of the “growing” season, under‐ice conditions in
lakes are characterized by low and rather constant temperature, slow water movements …

Deaths caused by cancer and bacterial infection necessitate the development of new and
potential compounds with desired properties that could circumvent the problem of chemo …

Eutrophication substantially influences the community structure of aquatic organisms and
has become a major threat to biodiversity. However, whether eutrophication is linked to …

Ecologists have long studied the temporal dynamics of plant and animal communities with
much less attention paid to the temporal dynamics exhibited by microbial communities. As a …

We present Procrustean Approach to Cophylogeny (PACo), a novel statistical tool to test for
congruence between phylogenetic trees, or between phylogenetic distance matrices of …

Microdiversity can lead to different ecotypes within the same species. These are assumed to
provide stability in time and space to those species. However, the role of microdiversity in …

Few studies of microbial biogeography address variability across both multiple habitats and
multiple seasons. Here we examine the spatial and temporal variability of bacterioplankton …

The purpose of this study was to examine the stability and host specificity of a cow's ruminal
bacterial community following massive challenge with ruminal microflora from another cow …

Disturbances act as powerful structuring forces on ecosystems. To ask whether
environmental microbial communities have capacity to recover after a large disturbance …

Recent meta‐analyses have shown that beta diversity through space is jointly driven by
species traits, geographical gradients, and ecosystem properties. Spatial variation is …
