This paper demonstrates the value of fungal trait-based phenotyping in microbiome research by analyzing four case studies and introduces q2-fungal-traits, a QIIME2 plugin for integrating fungal taxonomy with ecological and functional traits.

This study evaluates cryopreservation methods for stool samples to maintain viable microbiota, finding that simple methods like glycerol preservation and snap-freezing are as effective as more complex protocols.

The paper examines how metabolic rates and aerobic capacity in Chernobyl rodents correlate with radioactive dose rates, finding differing patterns in adults and subadults.

This paper proposes tiered badges and an evaluation tool to assess data sharing compliance in microbiome research and finds that nearly half of publications fail to meet minimum sequence data availability standards.
