Cancer Community Ecology [PDF]
Cancer Control, 2020 Here we advocate Cancer Community Ecology as a valuable focus of study in Cancer Biology . We hypothesize that the heterogeneity and characteristics of cancer cells within tumors should vary systematically in space and time and that cancer cells form ...

The community ecology perspective of omics data. [PDF]
Microbiome, 2022 The measurement of uncharacterized pools of biological molecules through techniques such as metabarcoding, metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, metabolomics, and metaproteomics produces large, multivariate datasets.

Nutritional and host environments determine community ecology and keystone species in a synthetic gut bacterial community. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2023 A challenging task to understand health and disease-related microbiome signatures is to move beyond descriptive community-level profiling towards disentangling microbial interaction networks.

Integrating the underlying structure of stochasticity into community ecology. [PDF]
Ecology, 2020 Stochasticity is a core component of ecology, as it underlies key processes that structure and create variability in nature. Despite its fundamental importance in ecological systems, the concept is often treated as synonymous with unpredictability in ...

A process-based metacommunity framework linking local and regional scale community ecology. [PDF]
Ecol Lett, 2020 The metacommunity concept has the potential to integrate local and regional dynamics within a general community ecology framework. To this end, the concept must move beyond the discrete archetypes that have largely defined it (e.g. neutral vs.

The influence of environmental setting on the community ecology of Ediacaran organisms. [PDF]
Interface Focus, 2020 The broad-scale environment plays a substantial role in shaping modern marine ecosystems, but the degree to which palaeocommunities were influenced by their environment is unclear.

How can microbial population genomics inform community ecology? [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2020 Populations are fundamental units of ecology and evolution, but can we define them for bacteria and archaea in a biologically meaningful way? Here, we review why population structure is difficult to recognize in microbes and how recent advances in ...

Stochastic Community Assembly: Does It Matter in Microbial Ecology? [PDF]
Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2017 Understanding the mechanisms controlling community diversity, functions, succession, and biogeography is a central, but poorly understood, topic in ecology, particularly in microbial ecology.

A guide to phylogenetic metrics for conservation, community ecology and macroecology. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc, 2017 The use of phylogenies in ecology is increasingly common and has broadened our understanding of biological diversity. Ecological sub‐disciplines, particularly conservation, community ecology and macroecology, all recognize the value of evolutionary ...
