Strong Dispersal Limitation of Microbial Communities at Shackleton Glacier, Antarctica [PDF]
mSystems, 2023 Microbial communities can be structured by both deterministic and stochastic processes, but the relative importance of these processes remains unknown. The ambiguity partly arises from an inability to disentangle soil microbial processes from confounding

Effect of anode material and dispersal limitation on the performance and biofilm community in microbial electrolysis cells [PDF]
Biofilm, 2023 In a microbial electrolysis cell (MEC), the oxidization of organic compounds is facilitated by an electrogenic biofilm on the anode surface. The biofilm community composition determines the function of the system.

Effects of spatial distance and woody plant cover on beta diversity point to dispersal limitation as a driver of community assembly during postfire succession in a Mediterranean shrubland [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Beta diversity, and its components of turnover and nestedness, reflects the processes governing community assembly, such as dispersal limitation or biotic interactions, but it is unclear how they operate at the local scale and how their role changes ...

Attribution of dispersal limitation can better explain the assembly patterns of plant microbiota [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Disentangling community assembly processes is crucial for fully understanding the function of microbiota in agricultural ecosystems. However, numerous plant microbiome surveys have gradually revealed that stochastic processes dominate the assembly of the

Dispersal Limitation Controlling the Assembly of the Fungal Community in Karst Caves [PDF]
Journal of Fungi, 2023 As a unique ecosystem, Karst caves harbor an impressive diversity of specific fungi. However, the factors and mechanisms that shape fungal biodiversity in caves remain elusive.

Robustness of close‐kin mark–recapture estimators to dispersal limitation and spatially varying sampling probabilities [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Close‐kin mark–recapture (CKMR) is a method for estimating abundance and vital rates from kinship relationships observed in genetic samples. CKMR inference only requires animals to be sampled once (e.g., lethally), potentially widening the scope of ...

Ecology and Dispersal of the Bedbug [PDF]
, 2012 The global bedbug resurgence has left the scientific community racing to fill large gaps in our understanding of the biology and ecology of this forgotten pest. Studying the ecology of a species so closely associated with humans has inherent difficulties,

Historical Contingency Drives Freshwater Microbial Community Assembly Across Successional Time [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionMicrobial community assembly is governed by the interplay among historical contingency, environmental selection, and dispersal, yet their relative importance and temporal dynamics remain poorly resolved, particularly in freshwater ecosystems.
