Cover Story: Despite widespread acknowledgement of the role of the environment as an arena for the evolution of AMR, the implicit current consensus among researchers is that AMR poses no threat to the environment and is irrelevant to safeguarding ecosystem services. This review challenges this consensus by exploring the potential for AMR-related changes in physiology to alter the severity of freshwater cyanobacterial HABs and the dynamics of HAB-afflicted aquatic food webs. Like other microbe-driven environmental disturbances, HABs are a pressing complex issue that often scales to the landscape level and beyond. The findings of this review not only bring into focus how AMR can have far-reaching environmental impacts through its influence on such phenomena but also highlight the benefits and importance of confronting issues like AMR and HABs in concert with interdisciplinary efforts.
