Bacteroidota and Lachnospiraceae integration into the gut microbiome at key time points in early life are linked to infant neurodevelopment

Gut Microbes, 2021
The early life microbiome plays critical roles in host development, shaping long-term outcomes including brain functioning. It is not known which initial infant colonizers elicit optimal neurodevelopment; thus, this study investigated the association ...

Habitat associations of woody plant species in evergreen–deciduous broadleaf karst forests in southwest China

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
The effects of habitat filtering on community assembly have been extensively researched, and topography has been identified as a critical factor influencing the spatial distribution of trees. In this study, a 25-ha plot was established in karst evergreen–

Habitat filtering determines spatial variation of macroinvertebrate community traits in northern headwater streams [PDF]

, 2013
Although our knowledge of the spatial distribution of stream organisms has been increasing rapidly in the last decades, there is still little consensus about trait-based variability of macroinvertebrate communities within and between catchments in near ...

Niche Separation Increases With Genetic Distance Among Bloom-Forming Cyanobacteria

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Bacterial communities are composed of distinct groups of potentially interacting lineages, each thought to occupy a distinct ecological niche. It remains unclear, however, how quickly niche preference evolves and whether more closely related lineages are

Plant Species’ Capacity for Range Shifts at the Habitat and Geographic Scales: A Trade-Off-Based Framework

Plants, 2023
Climate change is causing rapid shifts in the abiotic and biotic environmental conditions experienced by plant populations, but we lack generalizable frameworks for predicting the consequences for species.

A Probabilistic Perspective on Gaussian Filtering and Smoothing [PDF]

, 2010
15.07.13 KB. Ok to add report to Spiral.We present a general probabilistic perspective on Gaussian filtering and smoothing. This allows us to show that common approaches to Gaussian filtering/smoothing can be distinguished solely by their methods of ...

From Forest Soil to the Canopy: Increased Habitat Diversity Does Not Increase Species Richness of Cercozoa and Oomycota in Tree Canopies

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Tree canopies provide habitats for diverse and until now, still poorly characterized communities of microbial eukaryotes. One of the most general patterns in community ecology is the increase in species richness with increasing habitat diversity.

Dissecting biodiversity: assessing the taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic structure of an insect metacommunity in a river network using morphological and metabarcoding data

The European Zoological Journal, 2023
Most empirical metacommunity studies rely solely on morphological identification of taxa, precluding the species-level identification of several biotic groups, which can influence the characterization of metacommunities.

Niche Filtering of Bacteria in Soil and Rock Habitats of the Colorado Plateau Desert, Utah, USA [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
A common feature of microbial colonization in deserts is biological soil crusts (BSCs), and these comprise a complex community dominated by Cyanobacteria. Rock substrates, particularly sandstone, are also colonized by microbial communities. These are separated by bare sandy soil that also supports microbial colonization.
