    Using metacommunity ecology to understand environmental metabolomes

    Environmental metabolomes are fundamentally coupled to microbially-linked biogeochemical processes within ecosystems. However, significant gaps exist in our understanding of their spatiotemporal organization, ...

    Publisher Correction: Influences of organic carbon speciation on hyporheic corridor biogeochemistry and microbial ecology

    The original version of this Article contained an error in Fig. 6e, in which the text in the legend was omitted. This has been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the article.

    Influences of organic carbon speciation on hyporheic corridor biogeochemistry and microbial ecology

    The hyporheic corridor (HC) encompasses the river–groundwater continuum, where the mixing of groundwater (GW) with river water (RW) in the HC can stimulate biogeochemical activity. Here we propose a novel ther...

    Long-term nitrogen addition affects the phylogenetic turnover of soil microbial community responding to moisture pulse

    How press disturbance (long-term) influences the phylogenetic turnover of soil microbial communities responding to pulse disturbances (short-term) is not fully known. Understanding the complex connections betw...

    Autogenic succession and deterministic recovery following disturbance in soil bacterial communities

    The response of bacterial communities to environmental change may affect local to global nutrient cycles. However the dynamics of these communities following disturbance are poorly understood, given that they ...

    Coupling among Microbial Communities, Biogeochemistry and Mineralogy across Biogeochemical Facies

    Physical properties of sediments are commonly used to define subsurface lithofacies and these same physical properties influence subsurface microbial communities. This suggests an (unexploited) opportunity to ...

    Groundwater–surface water mixing shifts ecological assembly processes and stimulates organic carbon turnover

    Environmental transitions often result in resource mixtures that overcome limitations to microbial metabolism, resulting in biogeochemical hotspots and moments. Riverine systems, where groundwater mixes with s...

    Trophic ecology of an aquatic mite (Piona carnea) preying on Daphnia pulex: effects of predator density, nutrient supply and a second predator (Chaoborus americanus)

    As compared to other aquatic invertebrates, relatively little is known about the ecology of predaceous, pelagic water mites. Studies to date do, however, show that water mites can be important components of aq...

    Functional trait assembly through ecological and evolutionary time

    A classic community assembly hypothesis is that all guilds must be represented before additional species from any given guild enter the community. We conceptually extend this hypothesis to continuous functiona...
