Comparative metagenomics of microbial communities

TL;DR: The predicted proteins encoded in DNA isolated from environmental microbial community samples reveal habitat-specific metabolic demands as discussed by the authors, which can reveal habitat specific metabolic demands of the microbial community and its habitat.
Journal ArticleDOI

Environmental and ecological factors that shape the gut bacterial communities of fish: a meta‐analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the influence of abiotic and biotic factors on the gut bacterial communities of fish from different taxa, trophic levels and habitats, and found that fish harbor more specialized gut communities than previously recognized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Formation of the Isthmus of Panama

TL;DR: An exhaustive review and reanalysis of geological, paleontological, and molecular records converge upon a cohesive narrative of gradually emerging land and constricting seaways, with formation of the Isthmus of Panama sensu stricto around 2.8 Ma.
Book ChapterDOI

The Ecology of Rafting in the Marine Environment. II. The Rafting Organisms and Community

TL;DR: All available evidence suggests that rafting is an important process for the population dynamics of many organisms and that it also has had and continues to have a strong influence on coastal biodiversity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dispersal and gene flow in free-living marine nematodes

TL;DR: In this paper, the importance of priority effects, founder effects and genetic bottlenecks for population structuring between patches <1 km apart is discussed. And the authors discuss the presence of substantial cryptic diversity in marine nematodes, and end with highlighting future important steps to further unravel nematode evolution and diversity.

Comparative Metagenomics of Microbial Communities

TL;DR: This work characterize and compare the metabolic capabilities of terrestrial and marine microbial communities using largely unassembled sequence data obtained by shotgun sequencing DNA isolated from the various environments.

Causes and effects of a highly successful marine invasion: Case-study of the introduced Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas in continental NW European estuaries

TL;DR: The causes of the Pacific oyster's remarkably successful establishment and spread in The Netherlands and neighbouring countries are reviewed, and a comprehensive review of consequences for the receiving communities are included.
