Effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal dominance on taxonomic and phylogenetic beta diversity across vertical strata in a subtropical forest

Frontiers in Plant Science
Vertical stratification in forests creates important environmental gradients that shape biodiversity patterns. While beta diversity (β-diversity) quantifies community assembly mechanisms, the relative contributions of core ecological processes ...

Shaping fungal communities in Cenchrus setaceus: host fitness and habitat filtering

Abstract We investigated the fungal leaf communities of Cenchrus setaceus across plant fitness categories (high vs. low) and environmental zones (coast vs. hill; trade-wind exposure) on Tenerife (TF) and La Palma (LP).

Evidence that spatial scale and environment factors explain grassland community assembly in woodland–grassland ecotones

Ecology and Evolution
How communities of living organisms assemble has long been a central question in ecology. The impact of habitat filtering and limiting similarity on plant community structures is well known, as both processes are influenced by individual responses to ...

Neighboring forest habitat in blueberry systems reduces patterns of dominance and generates higher seasonal stability of spider communities

Global Ecology and Conservation
Understanding the dynamics of spider communities within agricultural landscapes is crucial for biodiversity-based pest management. Although often considered habitat generalists, spider communities are partially shaped by environmental filtering and ...

Phylogenetic Conservatism and Ambient Temperature Shape Spatial Variation in Bat Occupancy and Species Richness Along a Subtropical Elevational Gradient

Ecology and Evolution
Steep elevational gradients are natural laboratories for understanding species–environment relationships, as they provide high environmental heterogeneity over accessible distances.

A Filtering Model with Steady-State Housing [PDF]

This paper presents a filtering model of the housing market which is similar to Sweeney's (1974b), except that the maintenance technology is such that housing can be maintained at a constant quality level as well as downgraded, and population at each ...

Data from: Habitat filtering not dispersal limitation shapes oceanic island floras: species assembly of the Galápagos archipelago

, 2017
Remote locations, such as oceanic islands, typically harbour relatively few species, some of which go on to generate endemic radiations. Species colonising these locations tend to be a non-random subset from source communities, which is thought to ...

Habitat filtering but not microbiota origin controls microbiome transplant outcomes in soil

ABSTRACT Human activities cause global losses of soil microbiome diversity and functionality. Microbiota transplants offer a potential solution, but the factors influencing transplant success remain unclear. We investigated how microbiota origin affects microbiome mergers, hypothesizing that native strains through niche preference are ...
