Phage-dependent variability of Candidatus ‘Accumulibacter phosphatis’ populations in aerobic granular sludge

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Jacques Rougemont, Aline Sondra Adler

During the past 20 years, aerobic granular sludge (AGS) has been extensively studied with the aim to develop an attractive alternative to conventional activated sludge for wastewater treatment. The phosphate-accumulating organism (PAO) Candidatus ‘Accumuli ...

Rare but active taxa contribute to community dynamics of benthic biofilms in glacier-fed streams

Tom Ian Battin

Glaciers harbour diverse microorganisms, which upon ice melt can be released downstream. In glacier-fed streams microorganisms can attach to stones or sediments to form benthic biofilms. We used 454-pyrosequencing to explore the bulk (16S rDNA) and putativ ...

Complex Interaction of Dendritic Connectivity and Hierarchical Patch Size on Biodiversity in River-Like Landscapes

Andrea Rinaldo, Andrea Giometto, Francesco Carrara, Florian Altermatt

Habitat fragmentation and land use changes are causing major biodiversity losses. Connectivity of the landscape or environmental conditions alone can shape biodiversity patterns. In nature, however, local habitat characteristics are often intrinsically lin ...

Signs of critical transition in the Everglades wetlands in response to climate and anthropogenic changes

Andrea Rinaldo

The increasing pressure of climatic change and anthropogenic activities is predicted to have major effects on ecosystems around the world. With their fragility and sensitivity to hydrologic shifts and land-use changes, wetlands are among the most vulnerabl ...

Theoretical and Experimental Studies of Dendritic Metacommunities

Francesco Carrara

The present thesis deals with the understanding of the origins and the mechanisms of maintenance of biodiversity in natural landscapes, in particular by identifying key processes that define large-scale patterns of abundance and diversity. Biological commu ...

Scaling body size fluctuations

Andrea Rinaldo, Andrea Giometto, Francesco Carrara, Amos Maritan, Florian Altermatt

The size of an organism matters for its metabolic, growth, mortality, and other vital rates. Scale-free community size spectra (i.e., size distributions regardless of species) are routinely observed in natural ecosystems and are the product of intra- and i ...

Subordinate plant species impact on soil microbial communities and ecosystem functioning in grasslands: Findings from a removal experiment

Alexandre Buttler, Pierre Rossi, Pierre Rémi Mariotte, Charlotte Vandenberghe, Richard David Bardgett, Claire Meugnier

Despite their low relative abundance, subordinate plant species may have larger impacts on ecosystem functioning than expected, but their role in plant communities remains poorly understood. The aim of this study was to test how subordinate plant species i ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi reduce the differences in competitiveness between dominant and subordinate plant species

Alexandre Buttler, Pierre Rémi Mariotte, Thomas Spiegelberger, Aurélie Thébault, Claire Meugnier

In grassland communities, plants can be classified as dominants or subordinates according to their relative abundances, but the factors controlling such distributions remain unclear. Here, we test whether the presence of the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fun ...

Hexagonal Class Representation for Fingerprinting and Facile Comparison of Petroleomic Samples

Yury Tsybin, Anton Kozhinov, Konstantin Zhurov

Because of the high complexity of petroleomic-type samples, there is a need for efficient ways of visualizing and interpreting the resulting data in mass spectrometry-based petroleomics. Over the years, several graphing approaches have become widespread, y ...
