Robustness of trait distribution metrics for community assembly studies under the uncertainties of assembly processes

Ecology, 2013
Numerous studies have revealed the existence of nonrandom trait distribution patterns as a sign of environmental filtering and/or biotic interactions in a community assembly process. A number of metrics with various algorithms have been used to detect these patterns without any clear guidelines.

Assembling a User Interface out of Communication Processes

1991
The motivation for our interest in the workshop lies in the fact that we plan to build a new, second generation User Interface Management System (UIMS). In this paper it is our aim to indicate the direction we take. The central concept in our UIMS is concurrent processes and the semantics of their communication, described as transactions among these ...

Interaction and assembly processes of abundant and rare microbial communities during a diatom bloom process

Environmental Microbiology, 2019
Summary Diatom blooms can significantly influence the dynamics of microbial communities, yet little is known about the interaction and assembly mechanisms of abundant and rare taxa during bloom process. Here, using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, we investigated the co‐occurrence patterns and assembly processes

Leaf quality, predators, and stochastic processes in the assembly of a diverse herbivore community

Ecology, 2011
Ecological communities are structured by both deterministic, niche-based processes and stochastic processes such as dispersal. A pressing issue in ecology is to determine when and for which organisms each of these types of processes is important in community assembly.

Complex microplastics significantly influence the assembly process of lake bacterial communities

Journal of Hazardous Materials
Environmental microplastics (MPs) vary in abundance, shape, size, color, and polymer type in freshwater ecosystems, yet their impact on bacterial community assembly in natural lakes is unclear. Here, we examined MPs and bacterial compositions in water and sediments of Taihu Lake, China, to reveal the influence of complex MPs on the bacterial community ...

Searching for predictable assembly processes in freshwater fish communities

2018
The development of the metacommunity theory has highlighted the importance of taking regional dispersal into account to understand how species are assembled in local communities. Metacommunity studies have used two main approaches to seek for general processes regulating metacommunities: variation partitioning analysis to tease apart the influence of ...
