Chytrids-conveyed long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids to Daphnia alleviate the detrimental effect of heat when combined with limiting dietary organic matter quantity and nutritional quality

This study shows that chytrid-infected diets increase Daphnia survival, growth, and reproduction under heat stress by enhancing PUFA retention and bioconversion.

Neural networks and extreme gradient boosting predict multiple thresholds and trajectories of microbial biodiversity responses due to browning

The paper uses machine learning to show non-monotonic relationships between microbial diversity and browning in freshwater lakes, revealing thresholds and alternative diversity trajectories.
