Stream and lake network position structures freshwater microbial communities across multiple catchments

Streams and lakes form hydrologically connected freshwater networks. Different environmental conditions and dispersal dynamics along the stream to lake continuum potentially affect bacterial community composition, although the strength of such effects may vary among individual catchments. Here, we analysed 224 water samples from 58 streams draining into eight lakes across Switzerland, covering…
