Predation by a ciliate community mediates temperature and nutrient effects on a peatland prey prokaryotic community.

K. DeWitt, A. Carrell, J. Rocca, S. Votzke, A. Yammine, A. L. Peralta, D. J. Weston, D. A. Pelletier, J. P. Gibert

The paper investigates how predation by ciliates affects prokaryotic community diversity, biomass, and function under varying temperature and nutrient conditions in peatlands.

Sphagnum peat moss thermotolerance is modulated by the microbiome

A. A. Carrell, T. J. Lawrence, K. G. M. Cabugao, D. L. Carper, D. A. Pelletier, S. Jawdy, J. A. Grimwood, J. Schmutz, P. J. Hanson, A. J. Shaw, D. J. Weston

This study shows that Sphagnum moss thermotolerance can be modulated by the microbiome, with warming-origin microbes restoring plant growth after heat stress.

Impacts of intraspecific variability and local adaptation on the ecophysiology of mosses: an example with Sphagnum magellanicum

T. A. Oke, M. Turetsky, D. J. Weston, J. Shaw

This study investigates whether intraspecific variability in Sphagnum magellanicum is due to phenotypic plasticity or local adaptation, finding that ecophysiological responses are largely plastic.
