Geography and Host Identity Shape Intraseasonal Variation of Free‐Living and Zooplankton Associated Microbial Communities in Alpine Lakes Open
Microbes contribute to aquatic ecosystem function and the fitness of macroscopic organisms, including zooplankton. Many factors affect the taxonomic compositions of free‐living (bacterioplankton) and zooplankton‐associated microbial commun…

Wildfire‐Driven Changes in Terrestrial Subsidies Shift Freshwater Microbial and Zooplankton Communities to New Compositional States Open
Wildfire frequency and intensity are increasing globally, impacting terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Deposition of burned materials into aquatic environments can affect biotic communities and nutrient cycling. We investigated how post‐f…

Traits determine dispersal and colonization abilities of microbes Open
Many microbes disperse through the air, yet the phenotypic traits that enhance or constrain aerial dispersal or allow successful colonization of new habitats are poorly understood. We used a metabarcoding bacterial and eukaryotic data set …

Inter- and intraspecific responses of coral colonies to thermal anomalies on Palmyra Atoll, central Pacific Open
Long-term monitoring of individual coral colonies is important for understanding variability between and within species over time in the context of thermal stress. Here, we analyze an 11-year time series of permanent benthic photoquadrats …

Fire transforms effects of terrestrial subsidies on aquatic ecosystem structure and function Open
Fire can lead to transitions between forest and grassland ecosystems and trigger positive feedbacks to climate warming by releasing CO 2 into the atmosphere. Climate change is projected to increase the prevalence and severity of wildfires.…

Life after a fiery death: Fire and plant biomass loading affect dissolved organic matter in experimental ponds Open
Drier and hotter conditions linked with anthropogenic climate change can increase wildfire frequency and severity, influencing terrestrial and aquatic carbon cycles at broad spatial and temporal scales. The impacts of wildfire are complex …

Standardization of <i>in situ</i> coral bleaching measurements highlights the variability in responses across genera, morphologies, and regions Open
Marine heatwaves and regional coral bleaching events have become more frequent and severe across the world’s oceans over the last several decades due to global climate change. Observational studies have documented spatiotemporal variation …

Microbiomes and metabolomes of dominant coral reef primary producers illustrate a potential role for immunolipids in marine symbioses Open
The dominant benthic primary producers in coral reef ecosystems are complex holobionts with diverse microbiomes and metabolomes. In this study, we characterize the tissue metabolomes and microbiomes of corals, macroalgae, and crustose cora…

Isoscapes of remnant and restored Hawaiian montane forests reveal differences in biological nitrogen fixation and carbon inputs Open
Deforestation and subsequent land-use conversion has altered ecosystems and led to negative effects on biodiversity. To ameliorate these effects, nitrogen-fixing (N 2 -fixing) trees are frequently used in the reforestation of degraded land…

Amino acid <span>δ<sup>13</sup>C</span> and <span>δ<sup>15</sup>N</span> analyses reveal distinct species‐specific patterns of trophic plasticity in a marine symbiosis Open
Compound‐specific isotope analyses (CSIA) and multivariate “isotope fingerprinting” track biosynthetic sources and reveal trophic interactions in food webs. However, CSIA have not been widely applied in the study of marine symbioses. Here,…

Shifting baselines: Physiological legacies contribute to the response of reef corals to frequent heatwaves Open
Global climate change is altering coral reef ecosystems. Notably, marine heatwaves are producing widespread coral bleaching events that are increasing in frequency, with projections for annual bleaching events on reefs worldwide by mid‐cen…

Plant part and a steep environmental gradient predict plant microbial composition in a tropical watershed Open
Plant microbiomes are shaped by forces working at different spatial scales. Environmental factors determine a pool of potential symbionts while host physiochemical factors influence how those microbes associate with distinct plant tissues.…

High light alongside elevated <i>P</i>CO2 alleviates thermal depression of photosynthesis in a hard coral (<i>Pocillopora acuta</i>) Open
The absorbtion of human-emitted CO2 by the oceans (elevated PCO2) is projected to alter the physiological performance of coral reef organisms by perturbing seawater chemistry (i.e. ocean acidification). Simultaneously, greenhouse gas emiss…

Divergent symbiont communities determine the physiology and nutrition of a reef coral across a light-availability gradient Open
Reef corals are mixotrophic organisms relying on symbiont-derived photoautotrophy and water column heterotrophy. Coral endosymbionts (Family: Symbiodiniaceae), while typically considered mutualists, display a range of species-specific and …

Spatial variation in the biochemical and isotopic composition of corals during bleaching and recovery Open
Ocean warming and the increased prevalence of coral bleaching events threaten coral reefs. However, the biology of corals during and following bleaching events under field conditions is poorly understood. We examined bleaching and postblea…
