Effects of demographic stochasticity on biological community assembly on evolutionary time scales

open access: yes, 2010
We study the effects of demographic stochasticity on the long-term dynamics of biological coevolution models of community assembly. The noise is induced in order to check the validity of deterministic population dynamics.

Microbial community assembly is taxon- and habitat-dependent in an arid inland river basin, Northwest China

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation
Oasis habitats play a critical role in arid areas, yet little is known regarding microbial community assembly processes and their divergence between oasis and desert habitats in arid inland river basins.

Community assembly and coexistence in communities of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
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.

Community assembly and functional leaf traits mediate precipitation use efficiency of alpine grasslands along environmental gradients on the Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The alpine grasslands on the Tibetan Plateau are sensitive and vulnerable to climate change. However, it is still unknown how precipitation use efficiency (PUE), the ratio of aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) to precipitation, is related to ...

Variability in the Response of Bacterial Community Assembly to Environmental Selection and Biotic Factors Depends on the Immigrated Bacteria, as Revealed by a Soil Microcosm Experiment

open access: yesmSystems, 2019
Exploring the assembly mechanism of microbiota is critical for understanding soil ecosystem functions. However, the relative importance of different biotic and abiotic factors in determining the bacterial community has not been properly clarified.
