ArticleTowards integrating evolution, metabolism, and climate change studies of marine ecosystems(Elsevier, 2019-07-24) Baltar, Federico ; Bayer, Barbara ; Bednarsek, Nina ; Deppeler, Stacy ; Escribano, Ruben ; Gonzalez, Carolina E. ; Hansman, Roberta L. ; Mishra, Rajani Kanta ; Moran, Mary Ann ; Repeta, Daniel J. ; Robinson, Carol ; Sintes, Eva ; Tamburini, Christian ; Valentin, Luis E. ; Herndl, Gerhard J.Global environmental changes are challenging the structure and functioning of ecosystems. However, a mechanistic understanding of how global environmental changes will affect ecosystems is still lacking. The complex and interacting biological and physical processes spanning vast temporal and spatial scales that constitute an ecosystem make this a formidable problem. A unifying framework based on ecological theory, that considers fundamental and realized niches, combined with metabolic, evolutionary, and climate change studies, is needed to provide the mechanistic understanding required to evaluate and forecast the future of marine communities, ecosystems, and their services.

Eric ; Ducluzeau, Anne-Lise ; Martinez, Jonathan ; Costello, Mark J. ; Amaral-Zettler, Linda A. ; Gilbert, Jack A. ; Davies, Neil ; Field, Dawn ; Glockner, Frank OliverOcean Sampling Day was initiated by the EU-funded Micro B3 (Marine Microbial Biodiversity, Bioinformatics, Biotechnology) project to obtain a snapshot of the marine microbial biodiversity and function of the world’s oceans. It is a simultaneous global mega-sequencing campaign aiming to generate the largest standardized microbial data set in a single day. This will be achievable only through the coordinated efforts of an Ocean Sampling Day Consortium, supportive partnerships and networks between sites. This commentary outlines the establishment, function and aims of the Consortium and describes our vision for a sustainable study of marine microbial communities and their embedded functional traits.

ArticlePlanktonic marine fungi: A review(American Geophysical Union, 2024-03-03) Peng, Xuefeng ; Amend, Anthony S. ; Baltar, Federico ; Blanco-Bercial, Leocadio ; Breyer, Eva ; Burgaud, Gaetan ; Cunliffe, Michael ; Edgcomb, Virginia P. ; Grossart, Hans-Peter ; Mara, Paraskevi ; Masigol, Hossein ; Pang, Ka-Lai ; Retter, Alice ; Roberts, Cordelia ; van Bleijswijk, Judith ; Walker, Allison K. ; Whitner, SyrenaFungi in marine ecosystems play crucial roles as saprotrophs, parasites, and pathogens. The definition of marine fungi has evolved over the past century. Currently, “marine fungi” are defined as any fungi recovered repeatedly from marine habitats that are able to grow and/or sporulate in marine environments, form symbiotic relationships with other marine organisms, adapt and evolve at the genetic level, or are active metabolically in marine environments. While there are a number of recent reviews synthesizing our knowledge derived from over a century of research on marine fungi, this review article focuses on the state of knowledge on planktonic marine fungi from the coastal and open ocean, defined as fungi that are in suspension or attached to particles, substrates or in association with hosts in the pelagic zone of the ocean, and their roles in remineralization of organic matter and major biogeochemical cycles. This review differs from previous ones by focusing on biogeochemical impacts of planktonic marine fungi and methodological considerations for investigating their diversity and ecological functions. Importantly, we point out gaps in our knowledge and the potential methodological biases that might have contributed to these gaps. Finally, we highlight recommendations that will facilitate future studies of marine fungi. This article first provides a brief overview of the diversity of planktonic marine fungi, followed by a discussion of the biogeochemical impacts of planktonic marine fungi, and a wide range of methods that can be used to study marine fungi.
