Local and regional processes in community assembly. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Controversy on whether local (deterministic) or regional (stochastic) factors control the structure of communities persists after decades of research. The main reason for why it has not been resolved may lie in the nature of evidence which largely comes ...

Coupling Spatiotemporal Community Assembly Processes to Changes in Microbial Metabolism [PDF]
Front Microbiol, 2016 Community assembly processes generate shifts in species abundances that influence ecosystem cycling of carbon and nutrients, yet our understanding of assembly remains largely separate from ecosystem-level functioning.

Habitat Fragmentation Drives Plant Community Assembly Processes across Life Stages. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Habitat fragmentation is one of the principal causes of biodiversity loss and hence understanding its impacts on community assembly and disassembly is an important topic in ecology.

Rhizosphere Soil Microbial Community Under Ice in a High-Latitude Wetland: Different Community Assembly Processes Shape Patterns of Rare and Abundant Microbes [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 The rhizosphere soil microbial community under ice exhibits higher diversity and community turnover in the ice-covered stage. The mechanisms by which community assembly processes shape those patterns are poorly understood in high-latitude wetlands. Based

Coordination and divergence in community assembly processes across co-occurring microbial groups separated by cell size [PDF]
Front Microbiol, 2023 Setting the pace of life and constraining the role of members in food webs, body size can affect the structure and dynamics of communities across multiple scales of biological organization (e.g., from the individual to the ecosystem).

Four fundamental processes of community assembly [PDF]
, 2017 A central aim of ecology is understanding the mechanisms of community assembly. To address this problem, community assembly is often modeled as a sampling process, in which species are selected from a pool of available species, possibly with effects of ...

Coupling Bacterial Community Assembly to Microbial Metabolism across Soil Profiles
mSystems, 2020 Soil microbial community assembly is crucial for understanding the mechanisms of microbial communities that regulate ecosystem-level functioning. The relative contributions of stochastic and deterministic processes to microbial community assembly remain ...

Community assembly in Lake Tanganyika cichlid fish: Quantifying the contributions of both niche-based and neutral processes [PDF]
, 2017 The cichlid family features some of the most spectacular examples of adaptive radiation. Evolutionary studies have highlighted the importance of both trophic adaptation and sexual selection in cichlid speciation.
