Are diatom community assembly processes scale invariant in streams?

Freshwater Biology, 2023
Biological communities are structured by deterministic and stochastic factors often regarded to as community assembly processes. Deterministic factors comprise environmental filtering and biotic interactions while stochastic factors include random ...

Coupling spatiotemporal community assembly processes to ecosystem function

, 2016
Community assembly processes govern shifts in species abundances in response to environmental change, yet our understanding of assembly remains largely decoupled from ecosystem function.

Deterministic processes vary during community assembly for ecologically dissimilar taxa [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2015
The continuum hypothesis states that both deterministic and stochastic processes contribute to the assembly of ecological communities. However, the contextual dependency of these processes remains an open question that imposes strong limitations on ...

Stochastic processes govern gut bacterial community assembly in a Schistosoma mansoni-transmitting snail, Biomphalaria straminea.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
BackgroundStudies have revealed extensive taxonomic classifications and patterns of gut microbial diversity in snails, with limited focus on community assembly processes.

Community Assembly Processes of the Microbial Rare Biosphere [PDF]

Trends in Microbiology, 2018
Our planet teems with microorganisms that often present a skewed abundance distribution in a local community, with relatively few dominant species coexisting alongside a high number of rare species. Recent studies have demonstrated that these rare taxa serve as limitless reservoirs of genetic diversity, and perform disproportionate types of functions ...

Seasonal variation of phytoplankton community assembly processes in Tibetan Plateau floodplain. [PDF]

Front Microbiol, 2023
Uncovering the mechanisms underlying phytoplankton community assembly remains a major challenge in freshwater ecology. The roles of environmental filtering and spatial processes in shaping phytoplankton metacommunity in Tibetan floodplain ecosystems under various hydrological conditions are still unclear.

Resilience of tropical invertebrate community assembly processes to a gradient of land use intensity [PDF]

, 2023
Understanding how community assembly processes drive biodiversity patterns is a central goal of community ecology. While it is generally accepted that ecological communities are assembled by both stochastic and deterministic processes, quantifying their ...

Dual community assembly processes in dryland biocrust communities [PDF]

Functional Ecology, 2020
Abstract Biocrusts are critical components of drylands where they regulate a wide range of ecosystem functions, however, their response to the world‐wide phenomenon of shrub encroachment and to livestock grazing, the most extensive land use in drylands, is not well studied.

Global assembly of microbial communities

mSystems, 2023
Different habitats harbor different microbial communities with elusive assembly mechanisms. This study comprehensively investigated the global assembly mechanisms of microbial communities and effects of community-internal influencing factors using the ...

Patterns and Processes of Microbial Community Assembly [PDF]

Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2013
SUMMARY Recent research has expanded our understanding of microbial community assembly. However, the field of community ecology is inaccessible to many microbial ecologists because of inconsistent and often confusing terminology as well as unnecessarily polarizing debates.
