Neutral theory reveals the challenge of bending the curve for the post‐2020 Global Biodiversity Framework [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 In October, nations of the world will begin negotiations for the post‐2020 Global Biodiversity Framework under the Convention on Biological Diversity. An influential ambition is “bending the curve of biodiversity loss,” which aims to reverse the decline ...

Species Sorting and Neutral Theory Analyses Reveal Archaeal and Bacterial Communities Are Assembled Differently in Hot Springs [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020 Although the recognition of archaea as one of the three kingdoms in the tree of life has been nearly a half-century long, the comparative investigations on their ecological adaptations with bacteria have been limited.

A Cross-Scale Neutral Theory Approach to the Influence of Obesity on Community Assembly of Human Gut Microbiome [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Background: The implications of gut microbiome to obesity have been extensively investigated in recent years although the exact mechanism is still unclear. The question whether or not obesity influences gut microbiome assembly has not been addressed. The

Ecological drivers of the colon cancer microbiome: evidence for niche-based selection over stochastic colonization [PDF]
Frontiers in OncologyColon cancer is a leading global malignancy influenced by genetic, environmental, and microbial factors. This study integrates ecological theories, including Hubbell’s neutral theory, augmented by Ning et al.’s (2019, PNAS) stochasticity analysis ...

Quasi-neutral theory of epidemic outbreaks. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Some epidemics have been empirically observed to exhibit outbreaks of all possible sizes, i.e., to be scale-free or scale-invariant. Different explanations for this finding have been put forward; among them there is a model for "accidental pathogens ...

Non-Darwinian Molecular Biology
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 With the discovery of the double helical structure of DNA, a shift occurred in how biologists investigated questions surrounding cellular processes, such as protein synthesis. Instead of viewing biological activity through the lens of chemical reactions,
