Review of the Symposium Determinism and Stochasticity in Ecological Succession in ESA ‐Louisville, 2019

Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America, 2020
A central and recurrent discussion in ecology is how deterministic and stochastic processes dictate how communities assemble after severe disturbances.

Pioneer Arabidopsis thaliana spans the succession gradient revealing a diverse root-associated microbiome

Environmental Microbiome, 2023
Background Soil microbiomes are increasingly acknowledged to affect plant functioning. Research in molecular model species Arabidopsis thaliana has given detailed insights of such plant-microbiome interactions.

Ecological Succession of Polymicrobial Communities in the Cystic Fibrosis Airways

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 ...

Considering humans as habitat reveals evidence of successional disease ecology among human pathogens.

PLoS Biology, 2022
The realization that ecological principles play an important role in infectious disease dynamics has led to a renaissance in epidemiological theory. Ideas from ecological succession theory have begun to inform an understanding of the relationship between

Ecological succession in a changing world

Journal of Ecology, 2019
Ecological succession – how biological communities re‐assemble and change over time following natural or anthropogenic disturbance – has been studied since the birth of ecology, and the resulting theoretical framework underpins many aspects of the ...

Ecological succession of benthic organisms on niche-type artificial reefs

Ecological Processes, 2020
As part of efforts to restore fishery resources and recover damaged coastal ecosystems, artificial reefs are often anchored on the seafloor in coastal zones, to provide new habitats for marine organisms. The aim of the study was to describe the structure

Evolutionary graph theory derived from eco-evolutionary dynamics [PDF]

Journal of Theoretical Biology Vol. 519, 110648 (2021), 2020
A biologically motivated individual-based framework for evolution in network-structured populations is developed that can accommodate eco-evolutionary dynamics. This framework is used to construct a network birth and death model. The evolutionary graph theory model, which considers evolutionary dynamics only, is derived as a special case, highlighting ...

Dominant ecological processes and plant functional strategies change during the succession of a subtropical forest

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Understanding community assembly process could enhance forest conservation and restoration, while which dominant ecological process drives the community assembly during forest succession is still controversial.

Species-Level Spatio-Temporal Dynamics of Cyanobacteria in a Hard-Water Temperate Lake in the Southern Baltics

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Cyanobacteria are important primary producers in temperate freshwater ecosystems. However, studies on the seasonal and spatial distribution of cyanobacteria in deep lakes based on high-throughput DNA sequencing are still rare.

Diverse communities behave like typical random ecosystems [PDF]

Phys. Rev. E 104, 034416 (2021), 2019
In 1972, Robert May triggered a worldwide research program studying ecological communities using random matrix theory. Yet, it remains unclear if and when we can treat real communities as random ecosystems. Here, we draw on recent progress in random matrix theory and statistical physics to extend May's approach to generalized consumer-resource models ...
