Marine algae play a vital role in the ocean's food chain and they produce part of the world's oxygen that reaches the atmosphere. A variety of organisms are found in this zone including coral reefs, sharks, whales, fish, sea turtles, and more. ...
Here, we investigate biome transitions and specialization in natural populations of a focal bacterial phylum, the Myxococcota, sampled across a range of replicated soils and freshwater and marine sediments in Cornwall (UK). By targeted deep sequencing of the protein-coding gene rpoB, we found >...

How do changes in the thermocline of a body of water affect marine organisms? Why are nutrients important to living organisms? How do various living organisms interact within a biological community? How do bacteria help keep ecosystems healthy?
The mouthparts of insects are a phenomenal example of a multi-element, modular, feeding apparatus that repeatedly has been modified structurally to perform every feeding function imaginable in the terrestrial and freshwater realms, a process that began i
Thus, in addition to classical smut fungi and nonteliosporic species, this subphylum includes lipophilic yeasts associated with warm-blooded animals or marine environments, the species of Malassezia Baill. (Begerow et al. 2000; Amend 2014; Cabañes 2014; Wang et al. 2014), mite-associated ...
