Community structure follows simple assembly rules in microbial microcosms [PDF]

Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2016
IntroductionMicrobes typically form diverse communities of interacting species, whose activities have tremendous impact on the plants, animals, and humans they associate with1–3, as well as on the biogeochemistry of the entire planet4. The ability to predict the structure of these complex communities is crucial to understanding, managing, and utilizing

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 ...

The divergent vertical pattern and assembly of soil bacterial and fungal communities in response to short-term warming in an alpine peatland

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Soil microbial communities are crucial in ecosystem-level decomposition and nutrient cycling processes and are sensitive to climate change in peatlands.

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.

Modular Assembly of Polysaccharide-Degrading Marine Microbial Communities [PDF]

Current Biology, 2019
Understanding the principles that govern the assembly of microbial communities across earth's biomes is a major challenge in modern microbial ecology. This pursuit is complicated by the difficulties of mapping functional roles and interactions onto communities with immense taxonomic diversity and of identifying the scale at which microbes interact [1].

Deterministic processes dominate soil microbial community assembly in subalpine coniferous forests on the Loess Plateau [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
Microbial community assembly is influenced by a continuum (actually the trade-off) between deterministic and stochastic processes. An understanding of this ecological continuum is of great significance for drawing inferences about the effects of ...

Chronic Environmental Perturbation Influences Microbial Community Assembly Patterns

Environmental Science & Technology, 2022
Acute environmental perturbations are reported to induce deterministic microbial community assembly, while it is hypothesized that chronic perturbations promote development of alternative stable states. Such acute or chronic perturbations strongly impact on the pre-adaptation capacity to the perturbation.

Ecological Assembly Processes Are Coordinated between Bacterial and Viral Communities in Fractured Shale Ecosystems

mSystems, 2020
The ecological drivers that concurrently act upon both a virus and its host and that drive community assembly are poorly understood despite known interactions between viral populations and their microbial hosts. Hydraulically fractured shale environments

Microbial community assembly in marine sediments [PDF]

Aquatic Microbial Ecology, 2017
Marine sediments are densely populated by diverse communities of archaea and bacteria, with intact cells detected kilometers below the seafloor. Analyses of microbial diversity in these unique environments have identified several dominant taxa that comprise a significant portion of the community in geographically and environmentally disparate locations.

Metabolic rules of microbial community assembly [PDF]

, 2020
AbstractTo develop a quantitative theory that can predict how microbiomes assemble, and how they respond to perturbations, we must identify which descriptive features of microbial communities are reproducible and predictable, which are unpredictable, and why.
