Study Reveals Evolution of Phycospheric Resistome under Multiple Stressors

Research teams led by Prof. WU Chenxi and Prof. XU Jun from the Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, have provided new insights into how multiple environmental stressors regulate the evolution of phytoplankton, phycospheric bacteria, and phycospheric resistome in the Microcystis dominance ecosystem. Their findings underscore the necessity of considering the combined warming-pollutant effects in ARG ecological risk assessment in natural waters, particularly under phytoplankton succession scenarios.
Study Reveals Disruption of Virus–host Interactions under Multiple Stressors

A research team led by Prof. XU Jun from the Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with collaborators across institutions, has provided new insights into how multiple environmental stressors interact to influence freshwater microbiomes. Their findings reveal that viral community responses to multiple stressors are highly complex, underscoring the importance of accounting for coupled stressor effects when assessing ecological risks.
Evolutionary Origins Can Override Contemporary Environmental Filtering in Shaping Biodiversity

Researchers developed a modeling framework, through the linkage of biodiversity modeling and empirical evidence, to explain how contemporary ecological processes and historical evolutionary dynamics jointly influence biodiversity patterns.
