Shotgun metagenome data of a defined mock community using Oxford Nanopore, PacBio and Illumina technologies. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Metagenomic sequence data from defined mock communities is crucial for the assessment of sequencing platform performance and downstream analyses, including assembly, binning and taxonomic assignment.

Beta-diversity of Central European forests decreases along an elevational gradient due to the variation in local community assembly processes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Beta-diversity has been repeatedly shown to decline with increasing elevation, but the causes of this pattern remain unclear, partly because they are confounded by coincident variation in alpha- and gamma-diversity.

Nitrogen deposition does not change stochastic processes of soil microbial community assembly under climate warming in primary forest

open access: yesEcological Indicators
Soil microbial communities are essential for ensuring forest health, however, the influences of global change on soil microbial communities and their ecosystem functions remain unclear. Here, we explored the influences of experimental warming (3 °C above

A Network Perspective for Community Assembly

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Species interactions are responsible for many key mechanisms that govern the dynamics of ecological communities. Variation in the way interactions are organized among species results in different network structures, which translates into a community's ...

Stochastic Community Assembly: Does It Matter in Microbial Ecology? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Understanding the mechanisms controlling community diversity, functions, succession, and biogeography is a central, but poorly understood, topic in ecology, particularly in microbial ecology.

Disturbance and resource availability act differently on the same suite of plant traits: revisiting assembly hypotheses. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Understanding the mechanisms of trait selection at the scale of plant communities is a crucial step toward predicting community assembly. Although it is commonly assumed that disturbance and resource availability constrain separate suites of traits ...

A phylogenetic and trait‐based analysis of community assembly in a subtropical forest in central China

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2020
Despite several decades of study in community ecology, the relative importance of the ecological processes that determine species co‐occurrence across spatial scales remains uncertain.
