Network analysis is employed in biodiversity studies to explore the possible ecological
implications of taxa co-occurrences across time or space, but the conceptual robustness of …

Abstract Systems with strong horizontal and vertical gradients, such as fjords, are useful
models for studying environmental forcing. Here we examine microbial (prokaryotic and …

The fate of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is partly determined by its availability to
microbial degradation. Organisms at upper trophic levels could influence the bioavailability …

The aquatic microbiota plays key roles in ecosystem processes; however, the mechanisms
that influence their biogeographic patterns are not yet fully understood. Using high …

Increasing human impact on the environment is causing drastic changes in disturbance
regimes and how they prevail over time. Of increasing relevance is to further our …

As the world's sixth mass extinction continues, the loss of large animals has widespread
effects on biodiversity and ecosystem processes. Research across disparate systems, such …

Top–down control exerted by macroconsumers can strongly affect lower trophic levels and
ecosystem processes. Studies of effects on primary consumers in streams have been …

Technological advances have promoted the identification of microbial community
compositions, but the underlying assembly mechanisms and rules governing successions …

Local adaptation is a fundamental concept at the core of evolutionary process. Devising
means to break down larger concepts and systematically test internal mechanisms are key …
