Coupled effects of salinity and host phylogeny on niche breadth and viral evolution from seawater to salt saturation

Jaime Alcorta, María Dolores Ramos‐Barbero, Fernando Santos, Josefa Antón

The paper examines how salinity and host phylogeny influence viral niche breadth and evolution in hypersaline environments, finding that viruses have broader niches than hosts at high salinity.

Across-lineage prediction of within-KO sequence diversity by temperature and pH differs among subcellular compartments in hydrothermal spring communities

Juan Rivas-Santisteban, Jaime Alcorta, Beatriz Dı́ez…·Carlos Pedrós‐Alió

The paper examines how temperature and pH affect sequence diversity in microbial compartments across metagenomes from hydrothermal springs, finding pH has a stronger impact than temperature.
