Metagenomic Exploration of Bacterial Community Structure of Earthworms’ Gut

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2021
Living organisms are naturally bestowed with unique and imitable qualities for maintaining ecological balance and earthworms are no exceptions. These so-called keystone species of terrestrial ecosystems are equipped with wonderful machinery, allowing ...

Deep-Sea Nematodes of the Mozambique Channel: Evidence of Random Community Assembly Dynamics in Seep Sediments

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Cold seeps occur globally in areas where gases escape from the seafloor, occasionally resulting in the formation of topographic depressions (pockmarks), characterised by unique physicochemical conditions such as anoxic and sulphuric sediments.

COMMUNITY STRUCTURE IN JAZZ [PDF]

Advances in Complex Systems, 2003
Using a database of jazz recordings we study the collaboration network of jazz musicians. We define the network at two different levels. First we study the collaboration network between individuals, where two musicians are connected if they have played in the same band. Then we consider the collaboration between bands, where two bands are connected if

Community Structures of Networks [PDF]

Mathematics in Computer Science, 2008
We present an approach to studying the community structures of networks by using linear programming (LP). Starting with a network in terms of (a) a collection of nodes and (b) a collection of edges connecting some of these nodes, we use a new LP-based method for simultaneously (i) finding, at minimal cost, a second edge set by deleting existing and ...

Functional Responses of Phytoplankton Assemblages to Watershed Land Use and Environmental Gradients

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Watershed land-use changes have been identified as major threats to lake fauna, subsequently affecting ecosystem functioning. In this study, the functional-based approach was used to examine the effects of land use and environmental changes on ...

Unveiling the Gut Microbiota and Resistome of Wild Cotton Mice, Peromyscus gossypinus, from Heavy Metal- and Radionuclide-Contaminated Sites in the Southeastern United States

Microbiology Spectrum, 2021
The prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) can be driven by direct selection from antibiotic use and indirect selection from substances such as heavy metals (HMs). While significant progress has been made to characterize the influence of HMs on

Biogeography and potential ecological functions of prokaryotes in the hydrothermal and non-hydrothermal field sediments of the Indian Ocean Ridges

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
A consensus is emerging on marine microbial biogeography. However, knowledge of the biodiversity and biogeographic patterns of deep-sea microbes and the drivers is far from adequate.

Biodiversity and community structure [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2021
In natural plant communities, one finds ample examples of both competitive and facilitative interactions. The effect of a species A on another species B is said to be competitive (facilitative) if an increase in A ’s population size reduces (enhances) the population growth rate of B .
