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

open access: yesnpj 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-

Assembling community economies [PDF]

open access: yesProgress 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 ...

Size Shapes the Active Microbiome of Methanogenic Granules, Corroborating a Biofilm Life Cycle

open access: yesmSystems, 2020
Methanogenic archaea are key players in cycling organic matter in nature but also in engineered waste treatment systems, where they generate methane, which can be used as a renewable energy source.

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Innovations in higher education: Risks of using artificial intelligence tools

open access: yesЦифровые модели и решения
n recent years, the artificial intelligence market has been growing rapidly. The paper aims to identify and analyse the risks arising from the use of artificial intelligence tools in higher education and to suggest ways of reducing these risks.

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Light‐Assisted 3D Printing Techniques and Photocrosslinking Strategies: Recent Advances in Musculoskeletal Tissue Engineering

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
In this review, the current state of light‐assisted 3D printing as it pertains to engineering musculoskeletal tissues including bone, cartilage, skeletal muscle, tendon, and ligaments is summarized. Common printing techniques, photoreactive materials, and study design choices are compiled and reviewed.

Plant Community Assembly [PDF]

open access: yesThe Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America, 2014
In graduate school in the 1970s, discussions of Hutchinson’s multivariate niche (1957) and the role of competitive exclusion in structuring communities provided exciting new insights into patterns of community assembly. At the same time, however, I was immersed in the literature of plant community ecology and building my own impressions of tropical and
