The Role of Beaver Dams in Modulating Hydrological Connectivity and Nutrient Dynamics in Agricultural Catchments With Intermittent Streams
A roadmap for equitable reuse of public microbiome data
Science benefits from the rapid and open exchange of knowledge. However, there is a lack of appropriate community standards for data exchange between different institutions. In this article the authors discuss improvements for the exchange of extensive microbiome data.
Ecosystem age drives food web architecture of glacier retreat- formed fishless ponds in Greenland

A Dual Role of Common Mammals as Dispersers of Plants and Micro-Invertebrates Across Isolated Wetlands
Diel variation in CO2 flux is substantial in many lakes
Knots in the Strings: Do Small-Scale River Features Shape Catchment-Scale Fluxes?
The authors review how river “knots” associated with bifurcations, confluences, and obstructions, which are spatially and temporally heterogeneous reaches in a river network affect reach-scale processes including flow attenuation, enhanced vertical and lateral connectivity, and augmented solute retention and uptake. .
Imprints of increases in evapotranspiration on decreases in streamflow during dry periods, a large-sample analysis in Germany

Linking Individual Performance to Density-Dependent Population Dynamics to Understand Temperature-Mediated Genotype Coexistence

Europe’s water law needs genomic resolution
The authors recommend a new genetic approach for the obligatory measurements under the European Water Framework Directive (WFD). Currently, the diversity of phytoplankton – i.e. microalgae – is assessed as a key parameter for water quality using an inverse microscope technique that has been in use since 1958.
