The Phaeodactylum genome reveals the evolutionary history of diatom genomes
TLDR
Analysis of molecular divergence compared with yeasts and metazoans reveals rapid rates of gene diversification in diatoms, and documents the presence of hundreds of genes from bacteria, likely to provide novel possibilities for metabolite management and for perception of environmental signals.

Benthic diatom flora of freshwater and saline lakes in the Larsemann Hills and Rauer Islands, East Antarctica
TLDR
In the Larsemann Hills Antarctic endemics account for about 40% of all freshwater and brackish taxa, while the biogeographic distribution of about 26% is unknown, mainly due to their uncertain taxonomic identity, which contradicts the view that cosmopolitanism prevails in Antarctic diatoms.

Body size and dispersal mode as key traits determining metacommunity structure of aquatic organisms.
TLDR
The results reveal that body size and dispersal mode are important drivers of metacommunity structure and these traits should therefore be considered when developing a predictive framework for metacomunity dynamics.

The power of species sorting: Local factors drive bacterial community composition over a wide range of spatial scales
TLDR
It is suggested that the fast population growth rates of bacteria facilitate efficient species sorting along environmental gradients in bacterial communities over a very broad range of dispersal rates.

Salinity, depth and the structure and composition of microbial mats in continental Antarctic lakes
TLDR
Low concentrations of pigments, phosphate, nitrogen, DOC and TOC in the water column of most lakes suggest extremely low water column productivity and hence high water clarity, and may thus contribute to the ecological success of benthic microbial mats in this region.

The importance of dispersal related and local factors in shaping the taxonomic structure of diatom metacommunities
TLDR
The amount of variation explained by dispersal related factors increased with increasing geographic distance and increasing taxonomic resolution, and taxonomic turnover was lowest in highly connected habitats, once environmental factors were partialled out.
