Vicennial metagenomic time series unveils evolutionary dynamics of giant viruses in a freshwater ecosystem

This study uses a 20-year metagenomic time series to analyze the evolutionary dynamics of giant viruses in Lake Mendota, revealing gene duplication, horizontal transfer, and adaptive responses to environmental changes.

Time-series metagenomics reveals changing protistan ecology of a temperate dimictic lake

The paper analyzes time-series metagenomic data from Lake Mendota to study changes in protistan ecology, revealing shifts in community structure linked to invasive species and environmental factors.

A 20-year time-series of a freshwater lake reveals seasonal dynamics and environmental drivers of viral diversity, ecology, and evolution

The paper analyzes a 20-year viral time-series in a freshwater lake to uncover seasonal dynamics, environmental drivers, and evolutionary patterns of viral diversity and ecology.

Bacterial ecology and evolution converge on seasonal and decadal scales

The paper analyzes a two-decade freshwater lake metagenome dataset to show that ecological and evolutionary processes in microbial communities operate on seasonal and decadal scales.
