The paper analyzes Arctic phytoplankton and mycoplankton dynamics to show chytrids control diatom blooms, particularly in sympagic habitats.

This study shows how metolachlor herbicide alters gene expression in a cyanobacterium and its chytrid parasite, weakening parasite control and favoring cyanobacterial persistence.

The paper assembles the first haplotype-resolved diploid genome of Prymnesium parvum type B, identifies genomic differences linked to toxin variation, and provides insights into strain diversity and toxin production mechanisms.
