Chronic Environmental Perturbation Influences Microbial Community Assembly Patterns
Environmental Science and Technology, 2022 Acute environmental perturbations are reported to induce deterministic microbial community assembly, while it is hypothesized that chronic perturbations promote development of alternative stable states. Such acute or chronic perturbations strongly impact

Evolution and Community Assembly Across Spatial Scales
Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution and Systematics, 2022 The finding that adaptive evolution can often be substantial enough to alter ecological dynamics challenges traditional views of community ecology that ignore evolution.

Continuous assembly required: Perpetual species turnover in two‐trophic‐level ecosystems
Ecosphere, 2023 Community assembly is often treated as deterministic, converging on one or at most a few possible stable endpoints. However, in nature, we typically observe continuous change in community composition, which is often ascribed to environmental change.

A Roadmap for Sustainable Disease, Pest, and Weed Management
Biology and Life Sciences Forum, 2023 Effective disease, pest, and weed control are essential for achieving sustainable agricultural practices. The ever-growing global population, coupled with the increasing demand for food, poses a significant challenge to agriculture systems globally.

Assembling community economies [PDF]
Progress 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 ...

Interspecies bacterial competition regulates community assembly in the C. elegans intestine
The ISME Journal, 2021 From insects to mammals, a large variety of animals hold in their intestines complex bacterial communities that play an important role in health and disease.

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 ...

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.

Plant Community Assembly [PDF]
The 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

Community assembly and coexistence in communities of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2016 Abstract Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are asexual, obligately symbiotic fungi with unique morphology and genomic structure, which occupy a dual niche, that is, the soil and the host root. Consequently, the direct adoption of models for community assembly developed for other organism groups is not evident.
