Virus-host interactions and viral population dynamics across atmospheric cloud events

This study investigates virus-host interactions and viral population dynamics in cloud water, revealing active viral predation, genetic adaptations, and rapid population turnover across cloud events.

Biofilm Formation and Niche Adaptation Play Fundamental Role in Shaping Long-Distance Transported Dust Microbial Community

This study shows dust-borne Bacillus species form biofilms and adapt to niche conditions, highlighting biofilm formation as a survival strategy in dust storms.

Emergent patterns of patchiness reflect decoupling between ocean physics and biology

The paper analyzes global ocean data to show that physical and biological patchiness are decoupled, using variance slope to quantify spatial patterns.
