Does functional soil microbial diversity contribute to explain within-site plant beta-diversity in an alpine grassland and a dehesa meadow in Spain? [PDF]
, 2017 Questions: Once that the effects of hydrological and chemical soil properties have been accounted for, does soil microbial diversity contribute to explain change in plant community structure (i.e. within-site beta-diversity)?

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 ...

Optimizing a PCR protocol for cpn60-based microbiome profiling of samples variously contaminated with host genomic DNA. [PDF]
, 2015 The current recommended protocol for chaperonin-60 (cpn60) universal target based microbiome profiling includes universal PCR of microbiome samples across an annealing temperature gradient to maximize the diversity of sequences amplified.

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.
