Harmful algal blooms (HAB) are recurrent phenomena in northern Europe along the coasts
of the Baltic Sea, Kattegat-Skagerrak, eastern North Sea, Norwegian Sea and the Barents …

Bacteria are an important part of every ecosystem that they inhabit on Earth. Environmental
microbiologists usually focus on a few dominant bacterial groups, neglecting less abundant …

Microbial ecology as a scientific field is fundamentally driven by technological advance. The
past decade's revolution in DNA sequencing cost and throughput has made it possible for …

Perturbations to the colonization process of the human gastrointestinal tract have been
suggested to result in adverse health effects later in life. Although much research has been …

Whether or not communities of microbial eukaryotes are structured in the same way as
bacteria is a general and poorly explored question in ecology. Here, we investigated this …

The southern Chinese coast is one of the most developed regions in China and is an area
where harmful algal blooms (HABs) have occurred frequently. In this study, differences in the …

The ecological impacts of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) on water
ecology remain elusive in natural environments. We investigated the influence of antibiotics …

Models that estimate rates of energy flow in complex food webs often fail to account for
species-specific prey selectivity of diverse consumer guilds. While DNA metabarcoding is …

Abstract Knowledge of zooplankton in situ diet is critical for accurate assessment of marine
ecosystem function and structure, but due to methodological constraints, there is still a …

High‐throughput sequencing‐based analysis of microbial diversity has evolved vastly over
the last decade. Currently, the go‐to method for studying microbial eukaryotes is short‐read …
