A Metabolic Perspective of Stochastic Community Assembly
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2021 Metabolism controls the pace of life, driving major ecological patterns. We propose that the scaling of metabolism with temperature influences neutral processes of community assembly by controlling population dynamics independently of species identities.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Flexible piezoresistive pressure sensors underpin wearable and soft electronics. This review links sensing physics, including contact resistance modulation, quantum tunneling and percolation, to unified materials/structure design. We highlight composite and graded architectures, interfacial/porous engineering, and microstructured 3D conductive networks

Host effects on microbiota community assembly [PDF]
Journal of Animal Ecology, 2017 Abstract To what extent host‐associated microbiota assembly is driven by host selection or simply by happenstance remains an open question in microbiome research. Here, we take a first step towards elucidating the relative importance of host selection on the establishing gut microbial community in an ecologically relevant organism.

Ecological rules for the assembly of microbiome communities
PLOS Biology, 2021 Humans and many other hosts establish a diverse community of beneficial microbes anew each generation. The order and identity of incoming symbionts is critical for health, but what determines the success of the assembly process remains poorly understood.
