Stochastic Assembly Leads to Alternative Communities with Distinct Functions in a Bioreactor Microbial Community

mBio, 2013
The processes and mechanisms of community assembly and its relationships to community functioning are central issues in ecology. Both deterministic and stochastic factors play important roles in shaping community composition and structure, but the ...

Community Assembly Processes of the Microbial Rare Biosphere [PDF]

Trends in Microbiology, 2018
Our planet teems with microorganisms that often present a skewed abundance distribution in a local community, with relatively few dominant species coexisting alongside a high number of rare species. Recent studies have demonstrated that these rare taxa serve as limitless reservoirs of genetic diversity, and perform disproportionate types of functions ...

Estimating and mapping ecological processes influencing microbial community assembly [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Ecological community assembly is governed by a combination of (i) selection resulting from among-taxa differences in performance; (ii) dispersal resulting from organismal movement; and (iii) ecological drift resulting from stochastic changes in population sizes.

Abundant and Rare Microbial Communities Respectively Contribute to an Aquaculture Pond Ecosystem

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Unraveling the assembly mechanism is a core research topic of microbial ecology. Abundant and rare microbial communities are crucial for diversity, function and host health in a given ecosystem, but few studies focused on their assembly strategies. Here,

Microbial interactions and community assembly at microscales

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2016
In most environments, microbial interactions take place within microscale cell aggregates. At the scale of these aggregates (∼100μm), interactions are likely to be the dominant driver of population structure and dynamics. In particular, organisms that exploit interspecific interactions to increase ecological performance often co-aggregate.

From the Sunlit to the Aphotic Zone: Assembly Mechanisms and Co-Occurrence Patterns of Protistan-Bacterial Microbiotas in the Western Pacific Ocean

mSystems, 2023
We know little about the assembly processes and association patterns of microbial communities below the photic zone. In marine pelagic systems, there are insufficient observational data regarding why and how the microbial assemblies and associations vary

Long-Term Stochasticity Combines With Short-Term Variability in Assembly Processes to Underlie Rice Paddy Sustainability

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Revealing temporal patterns of community assembly processes is important for understanding how microorganisms underlie the sustainability of agroecosystem.
