Habitat Fragmentation Drives Plant Community Assembly Processes across Life Stages. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Habitat fragmentation is one of the principal causes of biodiversity loss and hence understanding its impacts on community assembly and disassembly is an important topic in ecology.

Experimental salt marsh islands: a model system for novel metacommunity experiments [PDF]

, 2017
Shallow tidal coasts are characterised by shifting tidal flats and emerging or eroding islands above the high tide line. Salt marsh vegetation colonising new habitats distant from existing marshes are an ideal model to investigate metacommunity theory ...

Fungal community assembly in drought-stressed sorghum shows stochasticity, selection, and universal ecological dynamics. [PDF]

, 2020
Community assembly of crop-associated fungi is thought to be strongly influenced by deterministic selection exerted by the plant host, rather than stochastic processes.

Species assembly in model ecosystems, I: Analysis of the population model and the invasion dynamics [PDF]

, 2010
Recently we have introduced a simplified model of ecosystem assembly (Capitan et al., 2009) for which we are able to map out all assembly pathways generated by external invasions in an exact manner. In this paper we provide a deeper analysis of the model,

Root attributes dominate the community assembly of soil fungal functional guilds across arid inland river basin

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Plant attributes are increasingly acknowledged as key drivers shaping soil fungal communities, but considerable uncertainty exists over fungal community assembly mechanisms and their plant drivers based only on inferences from plant aboveground ...

Divergent Abiotic Stressors Drive Grassland Community Assembly of Tibet and Mongolia Plateau

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Multiple ecological processes simultaneously govern community assembly, but it remains unclear how abiotic stressors regulate the relative importance of these processes among different biogeographic regions.

The Parallelism Motifs of Genomic Data Analysis [PDF]

, 2020
Genomic data sets are growing dramatically as the cost of sequencing continues to decline and small sequencing devices become available. Enormous community databases store and share this data with the research community, but some of these genomic data ...

Biogeographical patterns and mechanisms of microbial community assembly that underlie successional biocrusts across northern China

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes, 2021
Biocrusts play critical eco-functions in many drylands, however it is challenging to explore their community assembly, particularly within patched successional types and across climate zones. Here, different successional biocrusts (alga, lichen, and moss-

Integrating succession and community assembly perspectives [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

F1000Research, 2016
Succession and community assembly research overlap in many respects, such as through their focus on how ecological processes like dispersal, environmental filters, and biotic interactions influence community structure.

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
