Seasonal changes of species- and guild-based benthic diatom communities in the transitional water zone of the Yellow River Delta.

Benthic diatoms serve as exemplary indicators for the assessment of ecological conditions in freshwater ecosystems. However, an approach to assessing and managing transitional water zones by benthic diatoms is relatively less. This study entailed a detailed analysis and comparison of the seasonal dynamics in species- and guild-based benthic diatom communities and their driving factors in a small-scale transitional water zone of the Yellow River Delta.

Article Synopsis
  • - The gut microbiota acts like a vital organ for human health and consists of core microbes that maintain stable relationships, crucial for understanding their role in various diseases.
  • - By analyzing data from dietary interventions and various diseases, researchers identified patterns of correlated bacterial genomes, creating a model of "two competing guilds": one group that thrives on fiber and produces beneficial compounds and another that is associated with disease traits like antibiotic resistance.
  • - Using advanced modeling techniques, the study successfully differentiated between healthy and affected individuals based on these gut microbiome signatures, suggesting potential applications for improving health and tailoring treatments such as immunotherapy.

Interacting microbe and litter quality controls on litter decomposition: a modeling analysis.

The decomposition of plant litter in soil is a dynamic process during which substrate chemistry and microbial controls interact. We more clearly quantify these controls with a revised version of the Guild-based Decomposition Model (GDM) in which we used a reverse Michaelis-Menten approach to simulate short-term (112 days) decomposition of roots from four genotypes of Zea mays that differed primarily in lignin chemistry. A co-metabolic relationship between the degradation of lignin and holocellulose (cellulose+hemicellulose) fractions of litter showed that the reduction in decay rate with increasing lignin concentration (LCI) was related to the level of arabinan substitutions in arabinoxylan chains (i.

In this work we compare two Iberian and a pan-European fish-based methods to assess ecological quality in rivers: the Fish-based Index of Biotic Integrity for Portuguese Wadeable Streams (F-IBIP), the Mediterranean Index of Biotic Integrity (IBIMED) and the pan-European Fish Index (EFI+). The results presented herein were developed in the context of the 2nd phase of the Intercalibration Exercise (IC), as required by the Water Frame Directive (WFD). The IC is aimed at ensuring comparability of the quality boundaries among the different WFD assessment methods developed by the Member States for each biological quality element.
