Assessment of the stream invertebrate β‐diversity along an elevation gradient using a bidimensional null model analysis [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
β‐Diversity, commonly defined as the compositional variation among localities that links local diversity (α‐diversity) and regional diversity (γ‐diversity), can arise from two different ecological phenomena, namely the spatial species turnover (i.e ...

A null model for Pearson coexpression networks. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Gene coexpression networks inferred by correlation from high-throughput profiling such as microarray data represent simple but effective structures for discovering and interpreting linear gene relationships.

Hypothesis‐Driven Research on Multiple Stressors: An Analytical Framework for Stressor Interactions [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Identifying and characterizing stressor interactions is central to multiple stressor research. Such interactions refer to stronger (synergism) or weaker (antagonism) joint effects of co‐occurring stressors on biological entities, when compared to the ...

The Role Transition of Dietary Species Richness in Modulating the Gut Microbial Assembly and Postweaning Performance of a Generalist Herbivore

mSystems, 2021
When facing a food shortage, generalist herbivores can respond by expanding their dietary species richness (DSR) to maximize energy collection, regardless of whether forages are preferred or not.

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

Oilseed Rape Shares Abundant and Generalized Pollinators with Its Co-Flowering Plant Species

Insects, 2021
Mass-flowering crops, such as Oilseed Rape (OSR), provide resources for pollinators and benefit from pollination services. Studies that observe the community of interactions between plants and pollinators are critical to understanding the resource needs ...

Spatial scale changes the relationship between beta diversity, species richness and latitude [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2018
The relationship between β-diversity and latitude still remains to be a core question in ecology because of the lack of consensus between studies. One hypothesis for the lack of consensus between studies is that spatial scale changes the relationship ...

Influence of Association Network Properties and Ecological Assembly of the Foliar Fugal Community on Crop Quality

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Revealing community assembly and their impacts on ecosystem service is a core issue in microbial ecology. However, what ecological factors play dominant roles in phyllosphere fungal community assembly and how they link to crop quality are largely unknown.

Taxon‐dependent effects of dispersal limitation versus environmental filters on bryophyte assemblages―Multiple perspective studies in land‐bridge islands

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
To explore the taxon‐dependent contribution of dispersal limitation versus environmental filters to bryophyte assemblages. We investigated bryophytes and six environmental variables on 168 islands in the Thousand Island Lake,China.
