This study identifies 2,355 PLV populations in marine viromes, revealing their seasonal dynamics and functional roles in coastal ecosystems.

This study compares microbiome structures in two sympatric sea cucumber species and a sea star, finding that host species and body site equally influence microbial community composition.

The paper examines how urbanization affects fungal communities in water, sediment, and amphibian hosts across a rural-to-urban waterway, identifying fungal taxa sensitive to urban stressors as potential ecosystem health indicators.

The paper analyzes a five-year metagenomic time-series to study temporal dynamics of marine giant viruses, finding that phylogenetic proximity influences their seasonal abundance and ecological interactions.

The paper introduces a network-based framework to predict virus-host interactions, achieving higher accuracy than previous methods and expanding known interactions across diverse datasets.
