Population size predicts lexical diversity, but so does the mean sea level - why it is important to correctly account for the structure of temporal data [PDF]
, 2016 In order to demonstrate why it is important to correctly account for the (serial dependent) structure of temporal data, we document an apparently spectacular relationship between population size and lexical diversity: for five out of seven investigated ...

Digital data sources and methods for conservation culturomics [PDF]
Conservation Biology, 2021 Abstract Ongoing loss of biological diversity is primarily the result of unsustainable human behavior. Thus, the long‐term success of biodiversity conservation depends on a thorough understanding of human–nature interactions. Such interactions are ubiquitous but vary greatly in time and space and are difficult to monitor efficiently ...

Introducing SPeDE : high-throughput dereplication and accurate determination of microbial diversity from matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization time of flight mass spectrometry data [PDF]
, 2019 The isolation of microorganisms from microbial community samples often yields a large number of conspecific isolates. Increasing the diversity covered by an isolate collection entails the implementation of methods and protocols to minimize the number of ...

Mining semantics for culturomics [PDF]
Proceedings of the 2013 international workshop on Mining unstructured big data using natural language processing, 2013 The massive amounts of text data made available through the Google Books digitization project have inspired a new field of big-data textual research. Named culturomics, this field has attracted the attention of a growing number of scholars over recent years. However, initial studies based on these data have been criticized for not referring to relevant

Topical decolonization does not eradicate the skin microbiota of community-dwelling or hospitalized adults [PDF]
, 2016 Topical antimicrobials are often employed for decolonization and infection prevention and may alter the endogenous microbiota of the skin. The objective of this study was to compare the microbial communities and levels of richness and diversity in ...

Extensive culturomics of 8 healthy samples enhances metagenomics efficiency.
PLoS ONE, 2019 Molecular approaches have long led to the assumption that the human gut microbiota is dominated by uncultivable bacteria. The recent advent of large-scale culturing methods, and in particular that of culturomics have demonstrated that these prokaryotes ...

Impact of amoxicillin-clavulanate followed by autologous fecal microbiota transplantation on fecal microbiome structure and metabolic potential [PDF]
, 2018 The spread of multidrug resistance among pathogenic organisms threatens the efficacy of antimicrobial treatment options. The human gut serves as a reservoir for many drug-resistant organisms and their resistance genes, and perturbation of the gut ...
