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.

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 ...

Processes structuring macrophyte metacommunities in Mediterranean ponds: combining novel methods to disentangle the role of dispersal limitation, species sorting and spatial scales [PDF]
, 2019 Aim: Metacommunity ecology is a vibrant area of research that has received increased attention in recent years, since it provides a framework to assess the underlying dispersal- and niche-based processes that create non-random and ecologically meaningful

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 ...

Movement‐mediated community assembly and coexistence [PDF]
Biological Reviews, 2019 ABSTRACT Organismal movement is ubiquitous and facilitates important ecological mechanisms that drive community and metacommunity composition and hence biodiversity. In most existing ecological theories and models in biodiversity research, movement is represented simplistically, ignoring the behavioural basis of movement and ...

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 ...
