The importance of microbial activity to ecosystem function in aquatic ecosystems is well
established, but microbial diversity has been less frequently addressed. This review and …

Environmental microbiology is undergoing a dramatic revolution due to the increasing
accumulation of biological information and contextual environmental parameters. This will …

This study explored the short-term planktonic microbial community structure and resilience
in Lake Lanier (GA, USA) while simultaneously evaluating the technical aspects of …

For most mammals, including nonhuman primates, diet composition varies temporally in
response to differences in food availability. Because diet influences gut microbiota …

Bacteria have important roles in freshwater food webs and in the cycling of elements in the
ecosystem. Yet specific ecological features of individual phylogenetic groups and …

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 …

In the past several years, we have witnessed an increased interest in understanding the
structure and function of the indigenous microbiota that inhabits the human body. It is hoped …

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

Variation in traits causes bacterial populations to respond in contrasting ways to
environmental drivers. Learning about this will help us understand the ecology of individual …

Seasonal community structure and regionally synchronous population dynamics have been
observed in natural microbial ecosystems, but have not been well documented in …
