Emergent simplicity in microbial community assembly [PDF]
Science, 2018 Published in final edited form as: Science. 2018 August 03; 361(6401): 469–474. doi:10.1126/science.aat1168.A major unresolved question in microbiome research is whether the complex taxonomic architectures observed in surveys of natural communities can ...

Microbial community assembly and evolution in subseafloor sediment [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2017 Bacterial and archaeal communities inhabiting the subsurface seabed live under strong energy limitation and have growth rates that are orders of magnitude slower than laboratory-grown cultures.

Stochastic Community Assembly: Does It Matter in Microbial Ecology? [PDF]
Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2017 Understanding the mechanisms controlling community diversity, functions, succession, and biogeography is a central, but poorly understood, topic in ecology, particularly in microbial ecology.

Patterns and Processes of Microbial Community Assembly [PDF]
Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2013 SUMMARY Recent research has expanded our understanding of microbial community assembly. However, the field of community ecology is inaccessible to many microbial ecologists because of inconsistent and often confusing terminology as well as unnecessarily polarizing debates.

Coupling spatiotemporal community assembly processes to changes in microbial metabolism [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Community assembly processes generate shifts in species abundances that influence ecosystem cycling of carbon and nutrients, yet our understanding of assembly remains largely separate from ecosystem-level functioning.

Functional attractors in microbial community assembly. [PDF]
Cell Syst, 2022 For microbiome biology to become a more predictive science, we must identify which descriptive features of microbial communities are reproducible and predictable, which are not, and why. We address this question by experimentally studying parallelism and convergence in microbial community assembly in replicate glucose-limited habitats.

Hierarchical control of microbial community assembly [PDF]
, 2021 AbstractMetabolic processes that fuel the growth of heterotrophic microbial communities are initiated by specialized biopolymer degraders that decompose complex forms of organic matter. It is unclear, however, to what extent degraders control the downstream assembly of the community that follows polymer breakdown. Investigating a model marine microbial

Activated sludge microbial community assembly: the role of influent microbial community immigration. [PDF]
Appl Environ Microbiol, 2023 AbstractWastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are host to diverse microbial communities and receive a constant influx of microbes from influent wastewater, however the impact of immigrants on the structure and activities of the activated sludge (AS) microbial community remains unclear.

Resource competition can explain simplicity in microbial community assembly. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2023 AbstractPredicting the composition and diversity of communities is a central goal in ecology. While community assembly is considered hard to predict, laboratory microcosms often follow a simple assembly rule based on the outcome of pairwise competitions.

Microbial community assembly, theory and rare functions [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013 Views of community assembly have traditionally been based on the contrasting perspectives of the deterministic niche paradigm and stochastic neutral models. This study sought to determine if we could use empirical interventions conceived from a niche and neutral perspective to change the diversity and evenness of the microbial community within a ...
