This study examines fungal community assembly in Scandinavian lakes, finding low determinism and significant variability not explained by environmental factors or geographic distance.

This study assesses how ionic composition affects microbial diversity in inland saline aquatic habitats, finding it explains more variability than salinity or geographic location.

The paper estimates bacterial diversity turnover in the Danube River, linking it to environmental factors and human impacts.

The paper reconstructs genomes from ice-covered boreal lakes, revealing novel chemolithotrophic and anoxygenic phototrophic microorganisms and their metabolic interactions.

The paper evaluates the reliability and biases of Illumina MiSeq platform for 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, finding similar performance to 454 pyrosequencing but with notable differences in evenness estimates.

This study examines bacterial diversity along a 2600 km river continuum, finding that richness and evenness decline downriver with shifts in community composition.
