Ecological Assembly Processes Are Coordinated between Bacterial and Viral Communities in Fractured Shale Ecosystems

mSystems, 2020
The ecological drivers that concurrently act upon both a virus and its host and that drive community assembly are poorly understood despite known interactions between viral populations and their microbial hosts. Hydraulically fractured shale environments

The divergent vertical pattern and assembly of soil bacterial and fungal communities in response to short-term warming in an alpine peatland

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Soil microbial communities are crucial in ecosystem-level decomposition and nutrient cycling processes and are sensitive to climate change in peatlands.

Ecological rules for the assembly of microbiome communities

PLOS Biology, 2021
Humans and many other hosts establish a diverse community of beneficial microbes anew each generation. The order and identity of incoming symbionts is critical for health, but what determines the success of the assembly process remains poorly understood.

Unraveling assembly of stream biofilm communities [PDF]

The ISME Journal, 2012
Abstract Microbial biofilms assemble from cells that attach to a surface, where they develop into matrix-enclosed communities. Mechanistic insights into community assembly are crucial to better understand the functioning of natural biofilms, which drive key ecosystem processes in numerous aquatic habitats.

Plant Community Assembly [PDF]

The Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America, 2014
In graduate school in the 1970s, discussions of Hutchinson’s multivariate niche (1957) and the role of competitive exclusion in structuring communities provided exciting new insights into patterns of community assembly. At the same time, however, I was immersed in the literature of plant community ecology and building my own impressions of tropical and

Metabolic specialization and the assembly of microbial communities [PDF]

The ISME Journal, 2012
Abstract Metabolic specialization is a general biological principle that shapes the assembly of microbial communities. Individual cell types rarely metabolize a wide range of substrates within their environment. Instead, different cell types often specialize at metabolizing only subsets of the available substrates.

Patterns and Processes of Microbial Community Assembly [PDF]

Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2013
SUMMARY Recent research has expanded our understanding of microbial community assembly. However, the field of community ecology is inaccessible to many microbial ecologists because of inconsistent and often confusing terminology as well as unnecessarily polarizing debates.

Press Disturbance Alters Community Structure and Assembly Mechanisms of Bacterial Taxa and Functional Genes in Mesocosm-Scale Bioreactors

mSystems, 2020
Press disturbances are of interest in microbial ecology, as they can drive microbial communities to alternative stable states. However, the effect of press disturbances in community assembly mechanisms, particularly with regard to taxa and functional ...

Microbial community assembly is taxon- and habitat-dependent in an arid inland river basin, Northwest China

Global Ecology and Conservation
Oasis habitats play a critical role in arid areas, yet little is known regarding microbial community assembly processes and their divergence between oasis and desert habitats in arid inland river basins.

Contrasting ecological processes shape the Eucalyptus phyllosphere bacterial and fungal community assemblies

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, 2022
Introduction Phyllosphere microbiome is intrinsically linked to plant performance and ecosystem functioning. However, our knowledge about the role of ecological processes in shaping the biogeography of different phyllosphere microbial communities is ...
