Application of a neutral community model to assess structuring of the human lung microbiome. [PDF]

mBio, 2015
DNA from phylogenetically diverse microbes is routinely recovered from healthy human lungs and used to define the lung microbiome. The proportion of this DNA originating from microbes adapted to the lungs, as opposed to microbes dispersing to the lungs ...

Ecological assembly of mucosal and fecal microbiomes in ulcerative colitis across genes, functions, and species. [PDF]

Front Microbiol
IntroductionInflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with gut microbial dysbiosis, yet the ecological processes underlying community assembly remain unclear.MethodsHere, we applied Sloan’s neutral community model to examine the relative ...

Immigration, local dispersal limitation, and the repeatability of community composition under neutral and niche dynamics. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Repeatability of community composition has been a critical aspect for community structure, which is closely associated with community stability, predictability, conservation biology and ecological restoration.

Bacterial diversity and community assembly mechanisms in alpine wetland soils under the influence of grazing. [PDF]

Microbiol Spectr
Wetlands are among the world’s most significant ecosystems. Studying how different grazing intensities affect soil bacterial diversity and community assembly in alpine wetlands is crucial for their sustainable management.

Deterministic processes dominate archaeal community assembly from the Pearl River to the northern South China Sea

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Archaea play a significant role in the biogeochemical cycling of nutrients in estuaries. However, comprehensive researches about their assembly processes remain notably insufficient.

Responses of the bacterial community of tobacco phyllosphere to summer climate and wildfire disease

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Both biotic and abiotic factors continually affect the phyllospheric ecology of plants. A better understanding of the drivers of phyllospheric community structure and multitrophic interactions is vital for developing plant protection strategies.

Prokaryotic, Fungal, and Unicellular Eukaryotic Core Communities Across Three Sympatric Marine Sponges From the Southwestern Atlantic Coast Are Dominated Largely by Deterministic Assemblage Processes

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Marine sponges are known to harbor a diverse and complex microbiota; however, a vast majority of surveys have been investigating the prokaryotic communities in the north hemisphere and Australia.

Asymmetry in species regional dispersal ability and the neutral theory. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
The neutral assumption that individuals of either the same or different species share exactly the same birth, death, migration, and speciation probabilities is fundamental yet controversial to the neutral theory.

Diversity Distribution, Driving Factors and Assembly Mechanisms of Free-Living and Particle-Associated Bacterial Communities at a Subtropical Marginal Sea

Microorganisms, 2021
Free-living (FL) and particle-associated (PA) bacterioplankton communities play critical roles in biogeochemical cycles in the ocean. However, their community composition, assembly process and functions in the continental shelf and slope regions are ...

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
