Freshwater ecosystems are strongly influenced by weather extremes such as heatwaves
(HWs), which are predicted to increase in frequency and magnitude in the future. In addition …

Predictive biology is the next great chapter in synthetic and systems biology, particularly for
microorganisms. Tasks that once seemed infeasible are increasingly being realized such as …

Water temperature is critical for the ecology of lakes. However, the ability to predict its spatial
and seasonal variation is constrained by the lack of a thermal classification system. Here we …

Phytoplankton are responsible for half of all oxygen production and drive the ocean carbon
cycle. Metabolic theory predicts that increasing global temperatures will cause …

Predicting the fate of coastal marshes requires understanding how plants respond to rapid
environmental change. Environmental change can elicit shifts in trait variation attributable to …

Diatoms are important contributors to marine primary production and the ocean carbon
cycle, yet the molecular mechanisms that regulate their acclimation and adaptation to …

Phenotypic adjustments following environmental change are ubiquitous, and trait changes
arising through phenotypic plasticity often lag behind their environmental stimuli …

Summary Non‐structural carbohydrates (NSCs), as the labile fraction and dominant carbon
currency, are essential mediators of plant adaptation to environments. However, whether …

A central challenge in community ecology is understanding and predicting the effects of
abiotic factors on community assembly. In particular, microbial communities play a central …

Carbon use efficiency (CUE) is a key characteristic of microbial physiology and underlies
community‐level responses to changing environments. Yet, we currently lack general …
