Dispersal Limitation Expands the Diversity of Coral Microbiome Metacommunity in the South China Sea

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
The coral microbiome is one of the most complex microbial biospheres. However, the ecological processes shaping coral microbiome community assembly are not well understood. Here, we investigated the abundance, diversity, and community assembly mechanisms

Functional Traits Resolve Mechanisms Governing the Assembly and Distribution of Nitrogen-Cycling Microbial Communities in the Global Ocean

mBio, 2022
Microorganisms drive much of the marine nitrogen (N) cycle, which jointly controls the primary production in the global ocean. However, our understanding of the microbial communities driving the global ocean N cycle remains fragmented.

Strong Dispersal Limitation of Microbial Communities at Shackleton Glacier, Antarctica

mSystems, 2023
Microbial communities can be structured by both deterministic and stochastic processes, but the relative importance of these processes remains unknown. The ambiguity partly arises from an inability to disentangle soil microbial processes from confounding

Disentangling the Mechanisms Shaping the Prokaryotic Communities in a Eutrophic Bay

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Eutrophication occurring in coastal bays is prominent in impacting local ecosystem structure and functioning. To understand how coastal bay ecosystem function responds to eutrophication, comprehending the ecological processes associated with microbial ...

Microbial community assembly in a multi-layer dendritic metacommunity [PDF]

Oecologia, 2020
ABSTRACTA major goal of metacommunity ecology is to infer the local- and regional-scale processes that underlie community assembly. In dendritic ecological networks (e.g., stream metacommunities), branching and directional dispersal connectivity can alter the balance between local and regional factors during assembly.

A conceptual framework for the phylogenetically constrained assembly of microbial communities

Microbiome, 2019
Microbial communities play essential and preponderant roles in all ecosystems. Understanding the rules that govern microbial community assembly will have a major impact on our ability to manage microbial ecosystems, positively impacting, for instance ...

Stochastic and deterministic assembly processes in subsurface microbial communities [PDF]

The ISME Journal, 2012
Abstract A major goal of microbial community ecology is to understand the forces that structure community composition. Deterministic selection by specific environmental factors is sometimes important, but in other cases stochastic or ecologically neutral processes dominate.

Nitrogen deposition does not change stochastic processes of soil microbial community assembly under climate warming in primary forest

Ecological Indicators
Soil microbial communities are essential for ensuring forest health, however, the influences of global change on soil microbial communities and their ecosystem functions remain unclear. Here, we explored the influences of experimental warming (3 °C above

Prokaryotic Diversity in Mangrove Sediments across Southeastern China Fundamentally Differs from That in Other Biomes

mSystems, 2019
Mangroves, as a blue carbon reservoir, provide an environment for a variety of microorganisms. Mangroves lie in special locations connecting coastal and estuarine areas and experience fluctuating conditions, which are expected to intensify with climate ...
