The microbial genomics of glacier-fed streams: adaptations to an extreme ecosystem
Glacier-fed streams are the cold, ultra-oligotrophic, and unstable streams that are fed by glacial meltwater. Despite these extreme conditions, they harbour a diverse and abundant microbial diversity that develops into biofilms, covering the boulders and s ...
EPFL2024At what spatial scale does natural selection operate? Using multiscale frameworks to calibrate the effects of environmental factors across landscape continuums
Patterns in nature arise from processes interacting across a continuum of spatial scales, where new relationships emerge at each level of investigation. These patterns are nested features encompassing fine-scale local patterns, such as topography and geolo ...
EPFL2024Parity in bacterial communities and resistomes: Microplastic and natural organic particles in the Tyrrhenian Sea
Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Sylvain Coudret
Petroleum-based microplastic particles (MPs) are carriers of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) in aquatic environments, influencing the selection and spread of antimicrobial resistance. This research characterized MP and natural organic particle (NOP) ...
2024Biodiversity: Economics v Financials
Allowing companies to damage ecosystems and pay for restoration is unsuitable as a governance mechanism in the current biodiversity crisis, and is highly unlikely to restore genetic and functional biosphere integrity, At the same time, restoring previously ...
2024Treeline displacement may affect lake dissolved organic matter processing at high latitudes and altitudes
Climate change induced shifts in treeline position, both towards higher altitudes and latitudes induce changes in soil organic matter. Eventually, soil organic matter is transported to alpine and subarctic lakes with yet unknown consequences for dissolved ...
Nature Portfolio2024Diagenetic isotope exchange in biocalcites for paleoclimate reconstruction
Deyanira Graciela Cisneros Lazaro
The oxygen isotope compositions of fossil biocalcites, such as foraminifera, bivalves, brachiopods, and belemnites have allowed for reconstructions of sea surface and deep ocean temperatures throughout the Phanerozoic and constitute the most important reco ...
EPFL2024Winter post-droughts amplify extreme nitrate concentrations in German rivers
Hydrological extremes can affect nutrient export from catchments to streams, posing a threat to aquatic ecosystems. In this study, we investigated the effects of hydrological drought on nitrate concentrations in the streamflow of 182 German catchments from ...
