TL;DR: This Review examines how several cyanobacterial eco-physiological traits, specifically, the ability to grow in warmer temperatures; buoyancy; high affinity for, and ability to store, phosphorus; nitrogen-fixation; akinete production; and efficient light harvesting, vary amongst cyanobacteria genera and may enable them to dominate in future climate scenarios.

TL;DR: A suite of ecological interactions previously underestimated in importance have become research foci: overwintering of key organisms, the microbial food web, parasitism, and food quality as a limiting factor and an extended role of higher order predators.

TL;DR: In this article, the role of aquatic connectivity has been extensively studied on two large European rivers, the Danube and the Rhine, in which the roles of aquatic connections have been investigated.

TL;DR: Risks of exposure to cyanotoxins in food are sometimes underestimated and risk assessments should acknowledge this and investigate the partitioning of exposure between drinking-water and food, which may vary depending on local circumstances.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the contribution of temperature and nutrients in promoting phytoplankton and cyanobacterial biovolume in freshwater lakes and found that the interaction between these two factors explained more of the variance in cyanobacteria biovolate than each factor alone.
