Inferring processes of community assembly from macroscopic patterns: the case for inclusive and mechanistic approaches [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Statistical techniques exist for inferring community assembly processes from community patterns. Habitat filtering, competition, and biogeographical effects have, for example, been inferred from signals in phenotypic and phylogenetic data. The usefulness

Fungal Diversity and Community Assembly of Ectomycorrhizal Fungi Associated With Five Pine Species in Inner Mongolia, China

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi play vital roles in ensuring host plants’ health, plant diversity, and the functionality of the ecosystem. However, EM fungal diversity, community composition, and underlying assembly processes in Inner Mongolia, China, where ...

Disentangling the Mechanisms Shaping the Prokaryotic Communities in a Eutrophic Bay

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2022
Eutrophication occurring in coastal bays is prominent in impacting local ecosystem structure and functioning. To understand how coastal bay ecosystem function responds to eutrophication, comprehending the ecological processes associated with microbial ...

How to make more out of community data? A conceptual framework and its implementation as models and software [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Community ecology aims to understand what factors determine the assembly and dynamics of species assemblages at different spatiotemporal scales. To facilitate the integration between conceptual and statistical approaches in community ecology, we propose ...

Processes for Communal Discernment: Diocesan Synods and Assemblies

open access: yesThe Jurist: Studies in Church Law and Ministry, 2011
Processes for communal discernment: diocesan synods and assemblies. Some years ago the English theologian. Nicholas Lash. reflecting on belief in God in contemporary western culture. repeatedly used the image ofa school when referring to the Church. At one point he said. "this, ... is the kind of school the church exists to be: a place within the wider

Determinism of microbial community assembly by drastic environmental change.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
Microbial community assembly is shaped by deterministic and stochastic processes, but the relationship between these processes and the environment is not understood.

Strong Dispersal Limitation of Microbial Communities at Shackleton Glacier, Antarctica

open access: yesmSystems, 2023
Microbial communities can be structured by both deterministic and stochastic processes, but the relative importance of these processes remains unknown. The ambiguity partly arises from an inability to disentangle soil microbial processes from confounding

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...
