Restoring riparian habitats for benefits to biodiversity and human livelihoods: a systematic map protocol for riparian restoration approaches in the tropics by Sheena Davis, Matthew Grainger, Marion Pfeifer, Zarah Pattison, Philip Stephens, Roy Sanderson

“…Abstract Background Riparian zones are vital transitional habitats that bridge the gap between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. They support elevated levels of biodiversity and provide an array of important regulatory and provisioning ecosystem services, of which, many are fundamentally important to human well-being, such as the maintenance of water quality and the mitigation of flood risk along waterways. …”

Genome-resolved year-round dynamics reveal a broad range of giant virus microdiversity by Yue Fang, Lingjie Meng, Jun Xia, Yasuhiro Gotoh, Tetsuya Hayashi, Keizo Nagasaki, Hisashi Endo, Yusuke Okazaki, Hiroyuki Ogata

“…We argue that greater microdiversity of viruses likely enhances adaptability and thus survival under the virus–host arms race during prolonged interactions with their hosts.IMPORTANCERecent genome-resolved metagenomic surveys have uncovered the vast genomic diversity of giant viruses, which play significant roles in aquatic ecosystems by acting as bloom terminators and influencing biogeochemical cycles. …”
