Newest paper, written with Jacob Price, Michael Ryan, and Christopher Sales at Drexel University, and Laura Toran from Temple University, is available from Science of the Total Environment. In it, we use stream chemistry, qPCR and amplicon sequencing to evaluate the impact of WWTP effluent on microbial community structure in receiving streams. We found that alpha diversity increases below effluent, but the stream shows recovery with distance. Major nutrients (N and P) did not control shifts in community structure, but antecedent moisture conditions did impact diversity. The paper is available for the next 50 days for free: https://authors.elsevier.com/c/1VmXBB8cccnqt. After, feel free to email me for a copy!
