The diversity and biogeography of soil bacterial communities [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2006 For centuries, biologists have studied patterns of plant and animal diversity at continental scales. Until recently, similar studies were impossible for microorganisms, arguably the most diverse and abundant group of organisms on Earth.

Impacts of Grazing Intensity and Plant Community Composition on Soil Bacterial Community Diversity in a Steppe Grassland. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Soil bacteria play a key role in the ecological and evolutionary responses of agricultural ecosystems. Domestic herbivore grazing is known to influence soil bacterial community.

Using ecological diversity measures with bacterial communities [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2003 Abstract There are many ecological diversity measures, but their suitability for use with highly diverse bacterial communities is unclear and seldom considered. We assessed a range of species richness and evenness/dominance indices, and the use of species abundance models using samples of bacteria from zinc-contaminated and control soils. Bacteria were

Assessing the diversity of bacterial communities associated with plants [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, 2009 Plant-bacteria interactions result from reciprocal recognition between both species. These interactions are responsible for essential biological processes in plant development and health status. Here, we present a review of the methodologies applied to investigate shifts in bacterial communities associated with plants.

Assessing the Unseen Bacterial Diversity in Microbial Communities [PDF]
Genome Biology and Evolution, 2015 Abstract For both historical and technical reasons, 16S ribosomal RNA has been the most common molecular marker used to analyze the contents of microbial communities. However, its slow rate of evolution hinders the resolution of closely related bacteria—individual 16S-phylotypes, particularly when clustered at 97% sequence identity ...

Diversity of Bacterial Communities in Container Habitats of Mosquitoes [PDF]
Microbial Ecology, 2008 We investigated the bacterial diversity of microbial communities in water-filled, human-made and natural container habitats of the mosquitoes Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus in suburban landscapes of New Orleans, Louisiana in 2003. We collected water samples from three classes of containers, including tires (n = 12), cemetery urns (n = 23), and ...
