Mosquito community composition shapes virus prevalence patterns along anthropogenic disturbance gradients

eLife, 2023
Previously unknown pathogens often emerge from primary ecosystems, but there is little knowledge on the mechanisms of emergence. Most studies analyzing the influence of land-use change on pathogen emergence focus on a single host–pathogen system and ...

Extractable nitrogen and microbial community structure respond to grassland restoration regardless of historical context and soil composition. [PDF]

, 2015
Grasslands have a long history of invasion by exotic annuals, which may alter microbial communities and nutrient cycling through changes in litter quality and biomass turnover rates.

Bacterial and Archaeal Water and Sediment Communities of Two Hot Spring Streams in Tengchong, Yunnan Province, China

Diversity, 2022
In Tengchong County, springs with wide physicochemical diversity provide a multitude of niches for extremophilic microorganisms. In this study, eight middle-low temperature spring sites along two continuous small streams with low water flow and slow ...

Changes in microbial (Bacteria and Archaea) plankton community structure after artificial dispersal in grazer-free microcosms [PDF]

, 2017
Microbes are considered to have a global distribution due to their high dispersal capabilities. However, our knowledge of the way geographically distant microbial communities assemble after dispersal in a new environment is limited.

Simultaneous effect of habitat remnancy, exotic species, and anthropogenic disturbance on orchid diversity in South Australia

Conservation Science and Practice, 2022
Orchids are potentially useful as ecological indicators because of their sensitivity to habitat fragmentation and anthropogenic disturbance. While many studies explore the effect of single factors on orchid diversity, few investigate how the extent ...

High Variation in Protist Diversity and Community Composition in Surface Sediment of Hot Springs in Himalayan Geothermal Belt, China

Microorganisms, 2023
Hot springs are some of the most special environments on Earth. Many prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbes have been found to live in this environment. The Himalayan geothermal belt (HGB) has numerous hot springs spread across the area.

Microbial community composition of transiently wetted Antarctic Dry Valley soils [PDF]

, 2015
During the summer months, wet (hyporheic) soils associated with ephemeral streams and lake edges in the Antarctic Dry Valleys (DVs) become hotspots of biological activity and are hypothesized to be an important source of carbon and nitrogen for arid DV ...
