Two classically understudied topics in the disturbance/conservation literature are bacterial communities and aquatic habitats, both of which have traditionally been neglected because they are simply not as easy to study as larger organisms living on land. However, modern techniques--particularly chemical and genetic analyses--have helped make these subjects more accessible. In fact, some research has addressed both topics at once, as in a recent study that examined the effects of urbanization on stream bacteria and ecosystem function.read more
