Population Differentiation In Daphnia Alters Community Assembly In Experimental Ponds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Most studies of community assembly ignore how genetic differentiation within species affects their colonization and extinction. However, genetic differentiation in ecologically relevant traits may be substantial enough to alter the colonization and ...

Integrating Species Traits into Species Pools [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Despite decades of research on the species‐pool concept and the recent explosion of interest in trait‐based frameworks in ecology and biogeography, surprisingly little is known about how spatial and temporal changes in species‐pool functional diversity ...

Deterministic processes dominate soil microbial community assembly in subalpine coniferous forests on the Loess Plateau [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2019
Microbial community assembly is influenced by a continuum (actually the trade-off) between deterministic and stochastic processes. An understanding of this ecological continuum is of great significance for drawing inferences about the effects of ...

Emergent simplicity in microbial community assembly [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Published in final edited form as: Science. 2018 August 03; 361(6401): 469–474. doi:10.1126/science.aat1168.A major unresolved question in microbiome research is whether the complex taxonomic architectures observed in surveys of natural communities can ...

Understanding community assembly rules in managed floodplain food webs

open access: yesEcosphere, 2021
Community assembly has been an important topic in ecological research and theory for over a century. Recently, restoration ecologists have emphasized the use of community assembly rules, such as environmental filtering, to better inform management ...

Assembly processes of gastropod community change with horizontal and vertical zonation in ancient Lake Ohrid: a metacommunity speciation perspective [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The Balkan Lake Ohrid is the oldest and most diverse freshwater lacustrine system in Europe. However, it remains unclear whether species community composition, as well as the diversification of its endemic taxa, is mainly driven by dispersal limitation ...

Continuous assembly required: Perpetual species turnover in two‐trophic‐level ecosystems

open access: yesEcosphere, 2023
Community assembly is often treated as deterministic, converging on one or at most a few possible stable endpoints. However, in nature, we typically observe continuous change in community composition, which is often ascribed to environmental change.
