Land use intensification results in abrupt transitions between extensively and intensively managed grasslands

Abstract Understanding whether land use intensification causes regime shifts (i.e. persistent, large changes in ecosystem states) is of key importance for management, particularly if these shifts occur abruptly as thresholds in land use intensity are crossed. Further, these thres...

A global mitochondrial genomic atlas illuminates freshwater microeukaryote diversity

Abstract Environmental genomics has transformed our view of the microbial world, yet progress remains largely prokaryote-centric. Among microbial eukaryotes, inconsistent marker choice and limited species-level resolution blunt diversity estimates and hinder cross-study synthesis...
