Unlabelled: Snow algae darken the surface of snow, reducing albedo and accelerating melt. However, the impact of subsurface snow algae (e.g.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFSnow algal blooms decrease snow albedo and increase local melt rates. However, the causes behind the size and frequency of these blooms are still not well understood. One factor likely contributing is nutrient availability, specifically nitrogen and phosphorus.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFWe present a genome assembly from one male (the oak bush-cricket; Arthropoda; Insecta; Orthoptera; Tettigoniidae). The genome sequence is 9,039.1 megabases in span.

- Pteronarcys californica, also known as the giant salmonfly, is the largest stonefly species in the western U.S., but its populations have significantly declined and are locally extinct in many rivers, especially in Utah, Colorado, and Montana.
- Previous studies have looked at ecological conditions for its survival, but there's a gap in genetic research due to limited genomic resources.
- This study presents a new, comprehensive genome assembly for P. californica, showcasing a large genome size of 2.40 gigabases and highlighting significant multi-species genomic variations and trends that could aid in understanding the species' genetics and conservation.
Caddisflies (Trichoptera) are among the most diverse groups of freshwater animals with more than 16 000 described species. They play a fundamental role in freshwater ecology and environmental engineering in streams, rivers and lakes. Because of this, they are frequently used as indicator organisms in biomonitoring programmes.
