In this overview (introductory article to a special issue including 14 papers), we consider all
main types of natural and artificial inland freshwater habitas (fwh). For each type, we identify …

The field of paleolimnology has made tremendous progress in reconstructing past biotic and
abiotic environmental conditions of aquatic ecosystems based on sediment records. This …

Soil micro-organisms drive the global carbon and nutrient cycles that underlie essential
ecosystem functions. Yet, we are only beginning to grasp the drivers of terrestrial microbial …

The scarcity of high-resolution empirical data directly tracking diversity over time limits our
understanding of speciation and extinction dynamics and the drivers of rate changes. Here …

Studies of the upper 447 m of the DEEP site sediment succession from central Lake Ohrid,
Balkan Peninsula, North Macedonia and Albania provided important insights into the …

Ancient lakes are among the most interesting models for evolution studies because their
biodiversity is the result of a complex combination of migration and speciation. Here, we …

Aim This study investigates taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity in diatom genera to
evaluate assembly rules for eukaryotic microbes across the Siberian tree line. We first …

Background and aims–We examine the possibility of the independent evolution of the same
features multiple times across the pennate diatom tree of life. Methods and key results …

Exploration of the diversity in the diatom genus Homoeocladia across Micronesia revealed
several clusters of undescribed species based on variations around several characters …

Recent studies examining the fossil records of ancient Lake Towuti found this tropical lake
once had abundant Aulacoseira spp. that no longer exist in the lake. Varying considerably in …
