Metabarcoding reveals massive species diversity of Diptera in a subtropical ecosystem

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2022
Diptera is often considered to be the richest insect group due to its great species diversity and broad ecological versatility. However, data on dipteran diversity from subtropical ecosystems have hitherto been scarce, due to the lack of studies ...

Annual variations of abundance, egg production rate, and community structure of Oithona similis in Jiaozhou Bay, the Yellow Sea

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
In marine ecosystems, copepods (<2 mm) play an important role in the transfer of carbon and energy to higher tropic levels. Investigations in Jiaozhou Bay were carried out throughout 2017–2018, combined with laboratory experiments.

Community Structure Characterization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
This entry discusses the problem of describing some communities identified in a complex network of interest, in a way allowing to interpret them. We suppose the community structure has already been detected through one of the many methods proposed in the literature. The question is then to know how to extract valuable information from this first result,

Convergence of biofilm successional trajectories initiated during contrasting seasons

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Biofilm communities play a major role in explaining the temporal variation of biogeochemical conditions in freshwater ecosystems, and yet we know little about how these complex microbial communities change over time (aka succession), and from different ...

Long-Term Grazing Exclusion Reduces Species Diversity but Increases Community Heterogeneity in an Alpine Grassland

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Extensive grazing activity is threatening the alpine grassland of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. Evidence has shown that grazing exclusion may change the composition, structure, and functions of grassland ecosystems.
