TL;DR: Analysis of molecular divergence compared with yeasts and metazoans reveals rapid rates of gene diversification in diatoms, and documents the presence of hundreds of genes from bacteria, likely to provide novel possibilities for metabolite management and for perception of environmental signals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Body size and dispersal mode as key traits determining metacommunity structure of aquatic organisms
T. De Bie,L. De Meester,Luc Brendonck,Koen Martens,Koen Martens,Boudewijn Goddeeris,Dirk Ercken,H. Hampel,Luc Denys,L Vanhecke,K Van der Gucht,J Van Wichelen,Wim Vyverman,Steven Declerck +13 more
TL;DR: The results reveal that body size and dispersal mode are important drivers of metacommunity structure and these traits should therefore be considered when developing a predictive framework for metacomunity dynamics.
Journal ArticleDOI
The power of species sorting: Local factors drive bacterial community composition over a wide range of spatial scales
Katleen Van der Gucht,Karl Cottenie,Koenraad Muylaert,Nele Vloemans,Sylvie Cousin,Steven Declerck,Erik Jeppesen,Jose-Maria Conde-Porcuna,Klaus Schwenk,Gabriel Zwart,H. Degans,Wim Vyverman,Luc De Meester +12 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the fast population growth rates of bacteria facilitate efficient species sorting along environmental gradients in bacterial communities over a very broad range of dispersal rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Historical processes constrain patterns in global diatom diversity.

TL;DR: Using a global freshwater diatom data set, it is shown that latitudinal gradients in local and regional genus richness are present and highly asymmetric between both hemispheres, stressing the importance of dispersal and migration in structuring diatom communities at regional to global scales.
Book ChapterDOI
Experimental Studies on Sexual Reproduction in Diatoms
TL;DR: Un unsolved problems in the life history of diatoms are identified, including aspects of sexualization, cell-cell recognition, sexual reproduction, and the development of the special expanding cell (the auxospore), which is crucial to morphogenesis in this group.
