Endosymbionts modulate virus effects on aphid-plant interactions
Vector-borne pathogens frequently modify traits of their primary hosts and vectors in ways that influence disease transmission. Such effects can th…

Ecogenomics and cultivation reveal distinctive viral-bacterial communities in the surface microlayer of a Baltic Sea slick
Visible surface films, termed slicks, can extensively cover freshwater and marine ecosystems, with coastal regions being particularly susceptible t…
Predicting global distributions of eukaryotic plankton communities from satellite data
Satellite remote sensing is a powerful tool to monitor the global dynamics of marine plankton. Previous research has focused on developing models t…
Species-specific responses of marine bacteria to environmental perturbation
Environmental perturbations shape the structure and function of microbial communities. Oil spills are a major perturbation and resolving spills oft…
Tomato growth stage modulates bacterial communities across different soil aggregate sizes and disease levels
Soil aggregates contain distinct physio-chemical properties across different size classes. These differences in micro-habitats support varied micro…
The succession of epiphytic microalgae conditions fungal community composition: how chytrids respond to blooms of dinoflagellates
This study aims to investigate the temporal dynamics of the epiphytic protist community on macroalgae, during the summer months, with a specific fo…
Arctic bacterial diversity and connectivity in the coastal margin of the Last Ice Area
Arctic climate change is leading to sea-ice attrition in the Last Ice Area along the northern coast of Canada and Greenland, but less attention has…
Synechococcus nitrogen gene loss in iron-limited ocean regions
Synechococcus are the most abundant cyanobacteria in high latitude regions and are responsible for an estimated 17% of annual marine net pri…
Establishment of a transparent soil system to study Bacillus subtilis chemical ecology
Bacterial secondary metabolites are structurally diverse molecules that drive microbial interaction by altering growth, cell differentiation, and s…
