The microbiome is a complex and dynamic community of microorganisms that co-exist
interdependently within an ecosystem, and interact with its host or environment. Longitudinal …

The ability to predict microbial community dynamics lags behind the quantity of data
available in these systems. Most predictive models use only environmental parameters …

The rapid development of sequencing methods over the past decades has accelerated both
the potential scope and depth of microbiota and microbiome studies. Recent developments …

Microdiversity can lead to different ecotypes within the same species. These are assumed to
provide stability in time and space to those species. However, the role of microdiversity in …

Invasive species impart abrupt changes on ecosystems, but their impacts on microbial
communities are often overlooked. We paired a 20 y freshwater microbial community time …

Taxonomy assignment of freshwater microbial communities is limited by the minimally
curated phylogenies used for large taxonomy databases. Here we introduce TaxAss, a …

Although microbes mediate much of the biogeochemical cycling in freshwater, the
categories of carbon and nutrients currently used in models of freshwater biogeochemical …

Freshwater lakes harbor complex microbial communities, but these ecosystems are often
dominated by acI Actinobacteria. Members of this cosmopolitan lineage are proposed to …

Analysis of microbiome dynamics would allow elucidation of patterns within microbial
community evolution under a variety of biologically or economically important …

Lakes are focal points of biogeochemical cycling on the terrestrial landscape, and microbial
13 communities are the machines driving these processes. However, our view into how 14 …
