Historical Assembly of Andean Tree Communities

Plants, 2023
Patterns of species diversity have been associated with changes in climate across latitude and elevation. However, the ecological and evolutionary mechanisms underlying these relationships are still actively debated. Here, we present a complementary view of the well-known tropical niche conservatism (TNC) hypothesis, termed the multiple zones of origin

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 ...

Functional attractors in microbial community assembly

Cell Systems, 2022
For microbiome biology to become a more predictive science, we must identify which descriptive features of microbial communities are reproducible and predictable, which are not, and why. We address this question by experimentally studying parallelism and convergence in microbial community assembly in replicate glucose-limited habitats.

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-

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.

Unraveling assembly of stream biofilm communities [PDF]

The ISME Journal, 2012
Abstract Microbial biofilms assemble from cells that attach to a surface, where they develop into matrix-enclosed communities. Mechanistic insights into community assembly are crucial to better understand the functioning of natural biofilms, which drive key ecosystem processes in numerous aquatic habitats.

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 ...

Species assembly in model ecosystems, II: Results of the assembly process [PDF]

, 2010
In the companion paper of this set (Capitan and Cuesta, 2010) we have developed a full analytical treatment of the model of species assembly introduced in Capitan et al. (2009).

Species-level functional profiling of metagenomes and metatranscriptomes. [PDF]

, 2018
Functional profiles of microbial communities are typically generated using comprehensive metagenomic or metatranscriptomic sequence read searches, which are time-consuming, prone to spurious mapping, and often limited to community-level quantification ...

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

mSystems, 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.
