Algae drive convergent bacterial community assembly at low dilution frequency
iScience, 2023 Summary: Microbial community assembly is a complex dynamical process that determines community structure and function. The interdependence of inter-species interactions and nutrient availability presents a challenge for understanding community assembly ...

Determinism of microbial community assembly by drastic environmental change.
PLoS ONE, 2021 Microbial community assembly is shaped by deterministic and stochastic processes, but the relationship between these processes and the environment is not understood.

First report of the ectomycorrhizal fungal community associated with two herbaceous plants in Inner Mongolia, China [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi play a vital role in ensuring plant health, plant diversity, and ecosystem function. However, the study on fungal diversity and community assembly of EM fungi associated with herbaceous plants remains poorly understood.

Assembling community economies [PDF]
Progress in Human Geography, 2019 This article advances a framework for the study of community economies as assemblages constituted and shaped by three primary dynamics: relations, resources and constraints, and processes of stabilization and destabilization. Drawing on diverse and community economies scholarship, assemblage theory and actor-network theory, we develop a framework that

Diversity, 2020 Trait-based approaches present a promising avenue for improving our understanding of species coexistence and community assembly, while intraspecific trait variation (ITV) across different spatial scales is important in trait-based community assembly ...

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

Understanding community assembly rules in managed floodplain food webs
Ecosphere, 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]
, 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 ...
