Disturbance reinforces community assembly processes differentially across spatial scales. [PDF]

Ann Bot, 2021
AbstractBackground and AimsThere is a paucity of empirical research and a lack of predictive models concerning the interplay between spatial scale and disturbance as they affect the structure and assembly of plant communities. We proposed and tested a trait dispersion-based conceptual model hypothesizing that disturbance reinforces assembly processes ...

Deterministic processes dominate soil microbial community assembly in subalpine coniferous forests on the Loess Plateau [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
Microbial community assembly is influenced by a continuum (actually the trade-off) between deterministic and stochastic processes. An understanding of this ecological continuum is of great significance for drawing inferences about the effects of ...

Homogeneous selection is not always important in bacterial community in the eutrophic enclosed bay

Ecological Processes, 2022
Background Previous studies have found that coastal eutrophication increases the influence of homogeneous selection on bacterial community assembly. However, whether seasonal changes affect the dominance of homogenous selection in bacterial community ...

Stochastic and deterministic assembly processes in subsurface microbial communities [PDF]

The ISME Journal, 2012
Abstract A major goal of microbial community ecology is to understand the forces that structure community composition. Deterministic selection by specific environmental factors is sometimes important, but in other cases stochastic or ecologically neutral processes dominate.

Scale decisions can reverse conclusions on community assembly processes [PDF]

Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2013
AbstractAimPhylogenetic diversity patterns are increasingly being used to better understand the role of ecological and evolutionary processes in community assembly. Here, we quantify how these patterns are influenced by scale choices in terms of spatial and environmental extent and organismic scales.LocationEuropean Alps.MethodsWe applied 42 sampling ...

Biotic interactions contribute more than environmental factors and geographic distance to biogeographic patterns of soil prokaryotic and fungal communities

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Recent studies have shown distinct soil microbial assembly patterns across taxonomic types, habitat types and regions, but little is known about which factors play a dominant role in soil microbial communities.

Stream diatom community assembly processes in islands and continents: A global perspective

Journal of Biogeography, 2023
AbstractAimUnderstanding the roles of deterministic and stochastic processes in community assembly is essential for gaining insights into the biogeographical patterns of biodiversity. However, the way community assembly processes operate is still not fully understood, especially in oceanic islands.

Aboveground and belowground arthropods experience different relative influences of stochastic versus deterministic community assembly processes following disturbance [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
Background Understanding patterns of biodiversity is a longstanding challenge in ecology. Similar to other biotic groups, arthropod community structure can be shaped by deterministic and stochastic processes, with limited understanding of what moderates ...

Identifying and Separating the Processes Underlying Boreal Forest Understory Community Assembly [PDF]

, 2022
Identifying the ecological processes underlying community assembly remains an elusive goal in community ecology. We formalize assembly hypotheses as alternative models and apply each to predict 1,918 out-of-sample boreal forest understory communities to ...

Ecological Assembly Processes Are Coordinated between Bacterial and Viral Communities in Fractured Shale Ecosystems

mSystems, 2020
The ecological drivers that concurrently act upon both a virus and its host and that drive community assembly are poorly understood despite known interactions between viral populations and their microbial hosts. Hydraulically fractured shale environments
