Divergent habitat filtering of root and soil fungal communities in temperate beech forests [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2016
AbstractDistance decay, the general reduction in similarity of community composition with increasing geographical distance, is known as predictor of spatial variation and distribution patterns of organisms. However, changes in fungal communities along environmental gradients are little known.

Habitat filtering more than microbiota origin controls microbiome transplant outcomes in soil [PDF]

The ISME Journal
Abstract Human activities cause a global loss of soil microbiome diversity and functionality. One way to reverse this trend is through microbiota transplants, but the processes determining merger outcomes are not well understood. Here, we investigated the roles of habitat filtering and microbiota origin on microbiome development upon ...

Plant Invasion-Induced Habitat Changes Impact a Bird Community through the Taxonomic Filtering of Habitat Assemblages

Animals
Describing the spatial distribution of communities is crucial to understanding how environmental disturbance can affect biodiversity. Agricultural lands are susceptible to disturbances of anthropogenic origin and have been identified as ecosystems of ...

Extinction filters mediate the global effects of habitat fragmentation on animals [PDF]

Science, 2019
Vulnerability to habitat fragmentation Habitat fragmentation caused by human activities has consequences for the distribution and movement of organisms. Betts et al. present a global analysis of how exposure to habitat fragmentation affects the composition of ecological communities (see the Perspective by ...

Implicit Rating and Filtering [PDF]

, 1998
Social filtering systems that use explicit ratings require a large number of ratings to remain viable. The effort involved for a user to rate a document may outweigh any benefit received, leading to a shortage of ratings.

Mechanisms of species coexistence and functional diversity of ant assemblages in forest and pasture habitats in southwestern Brazilian Amazon

Sociobiology, 2020
In this study, we investigated the mechanisms behind species coexistence and the relationships between functional diversity and species richness in ant assemblages in both forest and pasture habitats in the southwestern Brazilian Amazon. We addressed the

Deterministic process shape coexistence of alpine meadow species based on DNA barcode sequences

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Deterministic and stochastic processes can simultaneously construct plant community assemblages. However, how they shape herbaceous plants’ phylogeny and functional structure in alpine meadows is unclear, hindering the understanding of species ...

Species interactions and random dispersal rather than habitat filtering drive community assembly during early plant succession [PDF]

, 2015
Theory on plant succession predicts a temporal increase in the complexity of spatial community structure and of competitive interactions: initially random occurrences of early colonising species shift towards spatially and competitively structured plant ...

Habitat filtering across tree life stages in tropical forest communities [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2013
Tropical tree communities are shaped by local-scale habitat heterogeneity in the form of topographic and edaphic variation, but the life-history stage at which habitat associations develop remains poorly understood. This is due, in part, to the fact that previous studies have not accounted for the widely disparate sample sizes (number of stems) that ...

Soil nematode community assembly in a primary tropical lowland rainforest

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
More than half of the world's tropical lowland rainforests have been lost due to conversion to agricultural land (such as rubber plantations). Thus, ecological restoration in degraded tropical lowland rainforests is crucial. The first step to restoration
