Microbial ecological insights from estuarine sediments revealed by temporal and spatial network analysis

The paper compares microbial association networks from temporal and spatial sampling in estuarine sediments, finding differences in network topology and keystone taxa.

Is DNA metabarcoding an option for formaldehyde-preserved zooplankton time series?

This study evaluates DNA metabarcoding of formaldehyde-preserved zooplankton samples, finding that while DNA can be amplified, community composition accuracy declines after two years of preservation.

Discovering 25 novel phyla that fill gaps in the eukaryotic tree of life

The paper identifies 25 novel phyla in the eukaryotic tree of life through global environmental DNA surveys and proposes formal names for 150 species.

Taxonomic vs. Functional Diversity for the Impact Assessment of Offshore Oil & Gas Activities: An Exploratory Study on Benthic Prokaryotes

This study compares taxonomic and functional diversity approaches to assess environmental impact of offshore oil & gas activities on benthic prokaryotes using multiple sequencing methods.

Contrasting dynamics and biotic association networks in estuarine microbenthic communities along an environmental disturbance gradient

The paper analyzes eDNA from estuarine sediments to assess microbial community dynamics and biotic associations across environmental disturbance gradients, finding that disturbed sites show greater variability and different network structures.

Benchmarking beta-diversity measures and transfer functions for sedimentary ancient DNA

This study benchmarks beta-diversity measures and transfer functions for sedimentary ancient DNA, showing that newer ordination methods are more robust to ancient DNA noise.

To assemble or not to resemble -- A validated Comparative Metatranscriptomics Workflow (CoMW)

The paper introduces a de-novo assembly-based metatranscriptomics workflow (CoMW) and shows it improves precision and reduces false positives compared to assembly-free methods.
