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.

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

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.
Long-term changes to plankton communities in artificially heated lakes

Global thermal tolerance compilation for freshwater invertebrates and fish
The authors present the first comprehensive and openly accessible compilation of freshwater species’ thermal tolerance, covering over 900 invertebrates and fish, and including English and non-English studies to expand representation and reduce biases.
