The paper examines how four freshwater phytoplankton species respond transcriptionally to warming and phosphorus limitation, finding divergent responses even within phyla.

The paper finds that collagen genes in Daphnia magna show thermal adaptation through amino acid composition changes linked to temperature tolerance.

The paper tracks quagga mussel population dynamics in Lake Constance, finding shallow-water saturation and deep-water expansion, contrasting with patterns in the Laurentian Great Lakes.

This study shows that trehalose production, mediated by the TPS gene, enables Daphnia magna to tolerate salinity stress, with tolerance linked to native habitat salinity and local adaptation.
