Host development overwhelms environmental dispersal in governing the ecological succession of zebrafish gut microbiota [PDF]
npj Biofilms and Microbiomes, 2021 Clarifying mechanisms underlying the ecological succession of gut microbiota is a central theme of gut ecology. Under experimental manipulations of zebrafish hatching and rearing environments, we test our core hypothesis that the host development will ...

Ecological succession of adult necrophilous insects on neonate Sus scrofa domesticus in central North Carolina. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The necrophilous insect fauna on carcasses varies seasonally and geographically. The ecological succession of insects arriving to decaying neonate pig carcasses in central North Carolina during late summer was sampled using a novel vented-chamber ...

Ecological succession of the sponge cryptofauna in Hawaiian reefs add new insights to detritus production by pioneering species. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2022 Successional theory proposes that fast growing and well dispersed opportunistic species are the first to occupy available space. However, these pioneering species have relatively short life cycles and are eventually outcompeted by species that tend to be

Comparative Analysis of the Ecological Succession of Microbial Communities on Two Artificial Reef Materials. [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2021 Concrete and wood are commonly used to manufacture artificial reefs (ARs) worldwide for marine resource enhancement and habitat restoration. Although microbial biofilms play an important role in marine ecosystems, the microbial communities that colonize ...

Ecological succession in the vaginal microbiota during pregnancy and birth. [PDF]
ISME J, 2020 The mother’s vaginal microbiota represents the first microbes to which a child is exposed when delivered vaginally. However, little is known about the composition and development of the vaginal microbiota during pregnancy and birth. Here, we analyzed the

Ecological Succession of Polymicrobial Communities in the Cystic Fibrosis Airways. [PDF]
mSystems, 2020 Antimicrobial therapies against cystic fibrosis (CF) lung infections are largely aimed at the traditional, well-studied CF pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Burkholderia cepacia complex, despite the fact that the CF lung harbors a complex and ...

Avian ecological succession in the Amazon: A long-term case study following experimental deforestation. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2019 Approximately 20% of the Brazilian Amazon has now been deforested, and the Amazon is currently experiencing the highest rates of deforestation in a decade, leading to large‐scale land‐use changes.

Homeorhesis and ecological succession quantified in synthetic microbial ecosystems. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2019 Significance Many ecological processes, such as births, deaths, invasions, or predation, are largely stochastic in nature. Nevertheless, the dynamics occurring in ecosystems following a major change, such as regrowth of a forest after a fire, often ...
