Recent advances in metacommunities and meta-ecosystem theories [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

F1000Research, 2017
Metacommunity theory has provided many insights into the general problem of local versus regional control of species diversity and relative abundance. The metacommunity framework has been extended from competitive interactions to whole food webs that can

Understanding evolutionary processes during past Quaternary climatic cycles: Can it be applied to the future? [PDF]

, 2010
Climate change affected ecological community make-up during the Quaternary which was probably both the cause of, and was caused by, evolutionary processes such as species evolution, adaptation and extinction of species and ...

Exploratory workshop on diversity and function in ectomycorrhizal communities [PDF]

, 2011
This proceedings contains eight articles dealing with community ecology and functional biodiversity targeting the central compartment of any forest ecosystem: the community of the symbiotic fungi which inhabit the roots.

Paving the Way to Elucidate Hg's Role in Tumorigenesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Tumorigenesis can result from diverse environmental carcinogens. Among them, mercury—a lifelong bioaccumulative Group 2B carcinogen—has tumorigenic potential that remains poorly understood due to confounding co‐exposures and limited organ‐specific data.

Impacts of mycorrhizal types, tree diversity, and species identity on the soil microbial genomic functional potential in temperate forests

Microbiology Spectrum
Soil microbial genomic functional potential refers to the community’s collective genetic capacity to mediate nutrient cycling processes involving carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P). While the drivers of microbial community composition have been

A decade of research in mofette areas has given us new insights into adaptation of soil microorganisms to abiotic stress

Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 2013
Natural CO2 springs (mofettes) represent extreme ecosystems with severe exhalations of ambient temperature geological CO2, inducing long-term soil hypoxia.

Rapid Remodeling of the Human Gut Microbiome in Response to Short‐Term Animal Product Restriction and Associations with Host Molecular Phenotypes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A real‐world model of structured animal product restriction practiced for religious reasons reveals the dynamic adaptability of the human gut microbiome to dietary change and uncovers reductions in diversity and rare taxa loss. Integrated microbiome, metabolomic, and proteomic analyses uncover coordinated taxonomic and molecular shifts and identify ...

Alternating High‐Fat and Polysaccharide Diets Modulates Gut Phage‐Bacterial Interplay

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals how alternating high‐fat and polysaccharide diets reshape the human gut virome and enhance phage‐bacteria interactions. Using large‐scale metagenomic meta‐analysis and a time‐resolved mouse model, the authors show that diets strongly modulate phage abundance, lifestyle, and gene exchange, offering new insights into nutrition‐guided ...
