The incursion of High-Throughput Sequencing (HTS) in environmental microbiology brings
unique opportunities and challenges. HTS now allows a high-resolution exploration of the …

While all known natural isolates of C. elegans contain multiple copies of the Tc1 transposon,
which are active in the soma, Tc1 transposition is fully silenced in the germline of many …

Hutchinson's paradox of the plankton inspired many studies on the mechanisms of species
coexistence. Recent laboratory experiments showed that partitioning of white light allows …

Synechococcus is a cosmopolitan genus of picocyanobacteria living in the photic zone of
freshwater and marine ecosystems. Here, we describe the isolation of 46 closely related …

Background The observation that specific members of the microbial intestinal community can
be shared among vertebrate hosts has promoted the concept of a core microbiota whose …

Picocyanobacteria of the genus Synechococcus span a range of different colours, from red
strains rich in phycoerythrin (PE) to green strains rich in phycocyanin (PC). Here, we show …

The mosaic distribution of interbreeding taxa with contrasting ecology and morphology
offers an opportunity to study microevolutionary dynamics during ecological divergence. We …
