Assembly archetypes in ecological communities
Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2023An instrumental discovery in comparative and developmental biology is the existence of assembly archetypes that synthesize the vast diversity of organisms’ body plans—from legs and wings to human arms—into simple, interpretable and general design principles. Here, we combine a novel mathematical formalism based on category theory with experimental data

Niche types and community assembly
Ecology Letters, 2023Abstract Studies of niche differentiation and biodiversity often focus on a few niche dimensions due to the methodological challenge of describing hyperdimensional niche space. However, this may limit our understanding of community assembly processes.

MPowering ecologists: community assembly tools for community assembly rules
Oikos, 2010Null model tests of presence–absence data (‘NMTPAs’) provide important tools for inferring effects of competition, facilitation, habitat filtering, and other ecological processes from observational data. Many NMTPAs have been developed, but they often yield conflicting conclusions when applied to the same data.

Journal of Archaeological Method and Theory, 2012
This article seeks to bring together studies of community from both the New and Old Worlds and examine their various strengths and weaknesses. Whilst applauding many of the recent developments, particularly the emphasis on communities as the outcome of practice and agency, I suggest that there are three specific difficulties present in the current ...

Osiris user community assembles
Neutron News, 2000Abstract The long wavelength diffraction capabilities of the OSIRIS spectrometer at ISIS, UK, are now complete and fully operational. In addition, the next stage of development, to provide incident beam polarization, will be realized later this year. Consequently, a meeting to address the experimental possibilities afforded by OSIRIS in the field of ...

Community assembly in marine macrofauna communities
2023A key question in community ecology is whether communities are a natural level of biological organisation, with characteristic emergent properties influenced by evolution and comprising species that have mutually influenced each others evolution, or whether they are simply haphazard collections of species adapted to similar physical conditions.

Neutral assembly of bacterial communities.
FEMS microbiology ecology, 2007Two recent, independent advances in ecology have generated interest and controversy: the development of neutral community models (NCMs) and the extension of biogeographical relationships into the microbial world. Here these two advances are linked by predicting an observed microbial taxa-volume relationship using an NCM and provide the strongest ...

Technical Communication in Assembly Instructions
Journal of Business and Technical Communication, 2015Women decide on about 80% of the goods that their household buys. But marketers often sell products, especially technical ones, that are designed by men and therefore are oriented largely toward their needs. Consequently, assembly instructions for these products are also oriented toward men’s needs.
