Microbial
community functioning during plant litter decomposition. Free access,

"... findings
suggest that bacteria secrete a variety of natural antibiotics in
an effort to compete against other bacteria or fungi
within the decomposer community. Competitive pressure likely drives
constant adaptation and optimization of
decomposer community functioning.

"... Paucity of the bryophyte fossil record, driven primarily by phenotypic
(small plant size) and ecological constraints (patchy substrate-hugging populations), and
incomplete exploration, results in many morphologically isolated, taxonomically
ambiguous fossil taxa. Nevertheless, instances of exquisite preservation and pioneering
studies demonstrate the feasibility of including bryophyte fossils in
evolutionary inference. ..."
