Evolution of multicellularity and reproductive strategies in yellow-green algae (Xanthophyceae, Heterokontophyta)

This study reconstructs the evolution of multicellularity and reproductive strategies in Xanthophyceae using phylogenomic data, showing multiple transitions to multicellularity linked to changes in propagule types.

The genomic basis of evolutionary stasis in the 500-million-year-old red seaweed genus Ahnfeltia

This study investigates the genomic basis of evolutionary stasis in the ancient red seaweed genus Ahnfeltia by analyzing chromosome-scale genomes and population genomics.

Who Formed All That Iron?: A Novel Antarctic Chemolithotroph Drives Iron Biomineralization

The paper identifies a novel Antarctic chemolithotroph, Candidatus Mariimomonas ferrooxydans, capable of iron oxidation under anoxic conditions, providing genomic and functional evidence for its role in iron biomineralization.

Evolutionary genomics of the emergence of brown algae as key components of coastal ecosystems

This study analyzes 60 brown algal genomes to identify genomic innovations and evolutionary patterns that enabled their adaptation to coastal ecosystems.

Community-wide interactions sustain life in geothermal spring habitats

The paper studies how a geothermal spring community responds to diurnal stressors, revealing structured biotic interactions across domains of life.
