Patterns of environmental spatial structure lie at the heart of the most fundamental and
familiar patterns of diversity on Earth. Antarctica contains some of the strongest …

There has been a marked increase in the distribution, intensity and frequency of
proliferations of some species of the benthic mat-forming, toxin-producing genus …

Lake Untersee is one of the largest (11.4 km2) and deepest (> 160 m) freshwater lakes in
East Antarctica. Located at 71° S the lake has a perennial ice cover, a water column that …

Lake Fryxell is a perennially ice-covered lake in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica, with a
sharp oxycline in a water column that is density stabilized by a gradient in salt concentration …

The global biogeography of microorganisms remains poorly resolved, which limits the
current understanding of microbial resilience toward environmental changes. Using high …

In this study, we report the distribution of microbial taxa and their predicted metabolic
functions observed in the top (U1), middle (U2), and inner (U3) decadal growth laminae of a …

Freshwater fish production depends on the production and use of polyunsaturated fatty
acids (n‐3 and n‐6 PUFA) from lower trophic levels. Here, we aimed to identify the main …

Cyanobacteria often account for a large and sometimes dominant fraction of phototrophic
biomass and primary production in high latitude lakes, ponds, streams and wetlands …

Metabolism is one of the most fundamental ecosystem processes, but the drivers of variation
in metabolic rates among lakes dominated by benthic primary producers remain poorly …

BRCA1 is a large multi-domain protein with a pivotal role in maintaining genome stability
and cell cycle progression. Germline mutations in the BRCA1 gene confer an estimated …
