Summary: Functional traits are measurable characteristics that affect an organism's fitness under certain environmental conditions. They offer great potential for improving our ability to develop biogeochemical models and predict ecosystem responses to global changes in microbial ecology. These traits can be decoupled from taxonomic relatedness and are influenced by environmental changes, highlighting the need for further research and understanding in utilizing functional traits in microbial ecology.

Summary: The paper introduces a new method that links empirical functional traits with demographic parameters of a process-based model through inverse modeling. It is applied to a highly diverse mountain grassland, showing that the calibrated trait-demography relationships fit well with the observed community structure. The authors propose a new Bayesian framework to calibrate community models via functional traits in species-rich ecosystems.

Summary: Roads form a global network of ecological barriers that have wide-ranging impacts on lotic ecosystems, including fragmentation, hydrological changes, sedimentation, and pollution. This study found that downstream of roads, there were lower densities of total macroinvertebrates and mayflies compared to upstream, while control streams did not show similar effects. Species density tended to be lower downstream, likely due to the lower macroinvertebrate densities at these sites. The species composition and abundances also differed between road impacted streams and control streams, suggesting a selection for different species in road impacted streams. Functional impacts included increased prevalence of predators in control streams and a higher proportion of grazers and shredders in road impacted streams.

Summary: The study revealed that salvage-logged habitats have significantly lower taxonomic diversity, functional diversity, and functional and phylogenetic redundancy compared to burned and traditionally logged habitats, with a lower frequency of insectivores as well. Cumulative disturbances have a negative effect on early assembly of bird communities. Further assessments at landscape level are encouraged to better plan for the conservation of bird functional structure.

Summary: The study in Poyang Lake wetland found that species and functional turnover were typically higher at plot than site scale, with species turnover higher than functional turnover. The best predictor of species turnover at plot scale was elevation, while functional turnover showed weak responses to environmental variables or geographic distance. The communities exhibited high functional redundancy with slow shifts across environmental gradients at both scales studied.

Summary: Over the years, various metrics have been proposed to quantify the amount of functional redundancy in a community. Two popular metrics involve comparing taxonomic diversity measures with a generalized form that accounts for functional differences. However, these metrics are susceptible to interpretation issues, which can be overcome by using a Hill numbers framework. This framework provides a more intuitive definition of functional redundancy and enables researchers to control the influence of rare taxa on the output value.

Summary: This study uses Tara Oceans shotgun metagenomes to describe the global biogeography of marine N-cycling microbial communities. It finds that marine N-cycling communities exhibit functional redundancy properties and are influenced by depth as a major factor. Taxonomic groups show latitudinal diversity gradients, while functional traits display less variation. Functional traits are determined by environmental factors, while taxonomic groups show more stochasticity.

Summary: Most invaders are only discovered once they have become abundant enough to be casually detected or have caused changes to the recipient environment. However, when newcomers fail to establish self-sustaining populations, they are often not even documented. This study reports a probable failed early invasion caused by an unpredictable geological event, detected through sediment records that were radiometrically dated.

Summary: Managing marine nonindigenous species is challenging due to the highly connected marine environments that allow for the dispersal of species across geopolitical borders. Inconsistent biosecurity management across borders can lead to the spread of nonindigenous species, often unnoticed or unreported. Collaborative surveillance programs and databases can enhance early detection and information exchange, while local reference libraries, databases, and predictive modeling can aid in biosecurity program development.

Summary: This study focuses on the arenaceous reefs formed by the polychaete Sabellaria spinulosa and examines the presence of microplastics pollution. The research aims to assess the amount of microplastics in a bioconstruction located in the Adriatic coast of Italy (Mediterranean Sea) by comparing the microplastics abundance in sea-floor sediment and bioconstruction samples. The results show that the bioconstruction contains a higher number of microplastics particles with different shapes compared to the sediment samples. Analysis also reveals that the microplastics particles are agglutinated in their original position within the bioconstruction, with a higher concentration found in the inter-tube areas. These findings raise questions about the role of sabellariid bioconstructions as traps for microplastics in the littoral environment.

Summary: This study provides a bibliographic review of red calcareous algae, specifically rhodoliths, emphasizing on their morphology, ecology, diversity, related organisms, major anthropogenic influences on climate change, and current conservation initiatives. These habitats are widely distributed geographically and bathymetrically, occurring in the photic zone from the intertidal area to depths of 270 m. Red calcareous algae provide a unique biogenic environment that supports epiphyte algae and numerous marine invertebrates, including a holobiont microbiota. The survival of Corallinales may be significantly threatened by the impacts of climate change, particularly acidification, and therefore, conservation and management programs are needed to monitor their habitats, study their associated communities, and evaluate their environmental effects.
