Fine-scale cryogenic sampling of planktonic microbial communities: Application to toxic cyanobacterial blooms
(Wiley, 2016)A lack of fine-scale methods for sampling planktonic microbial populations hinders advancement in understanding the responses of these communities to environmental conditions. Current methods provide resolution at scales ... -
Geochemically defined space-for-time transects successfully capture microbial dynamics along lacustrine chronosequences in a polar desert
(Frontiers Media SA, 2022)The space-for-time substitution approach provides a valuable empirical assessment to infer temporal effects of disturbance from spatial gradients. Applied to predict the response of different ecosystems under current climate ... -
Importance of environmental factors over habitat connectivity in shaping bacterial communities in microbial mats and bacterioplankton in an Antarctic freshwater system.
(2021)Freshwater ecosystems are considered hotspots of biodiversity in Antarctic polar deserts. Anticipated warming is expected to change the hydrology of these systems due to increased meltwater and reduction of ice cover, with ... -
In situ collection and preservation of intact Microcystis colonies to assess population diversity and microcystin quotas
(MDPI, 2019)Understanding of colony specific properties of cyanobacteria in the natural environment has been challenging because sampling methods disaggregate colonies and there are often delays before they can be isolated and preserved. ... -
The Pyramid Trough Wetland: environmental and biological diversity in a newly created Antarctic protected area
(2012)The Pyramid Trough (Lat 78°S) has recently gained protection under the Antarctic Treaty system, owing to its wetland values. Here, we describe the microbial diversity of this system, with emphasis on cyanobacteria, and ...
