Phylogenetic farming: Can evolutionary history predict crop rotation via the soil microbiome?
Evolutionary Applications, 2020 Agriculture has long employed phylogenetic rules whereby farmers are encouraged to rotate taxonomically unrelated plants in shared soil. Although this forms a central tenet of sustainable agriculture, strangely, this on‐farm “rule of thumb” has never ...

The impacts of fine-tuning, phylogenetic distance, and sample size on big-data bioacoustics
PLoS ONE, 2022 Vocalizations in animals, particularly birds, are critically important behaviors that influence their reproductive fitness. While recordings of bioacoustic data have been captured and stored in collections for decades, the automated extraction of data ...

Fungal Assemblages in Different Habitats in an Erman’s Birch Forest
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Recent meta-analyses of fungal diversity using deeply sequenced marker genes suggest that most fungal taxa are locally distributed. However, little is known about the extent of overlap and niche partitions in total fungal communities or functional guilds

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2022 In most members of the genus Dendroctonus, the usefulness of the spermatheca for taxonomic purposes has not been evaluated in depth; therefore, the aim of this study is to describe and compare the elements that integrate the female reproductive ...

Towards a Taxonomically Intelligent Phylogenetic Database [PDF]
, 2007 This note outlines some of the key intellectual obstacles that stand in the way of creating a usable phylogenetic database. These challenges include the need to accommodate multiple taxonomic names and classifications, and the need for tools to query ...

Unveiling the Taxonomic Diversity and Unprecedented Biosynthetic Treasure of the Phylum Myxococcota
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Natural products remain vital sources of therapeutics, and the phylum Myxococcota constitutes an especially rich reservoir for them. Based on decades of microbiological efforts, we present 154 new Myxococcota genomes and revise taxonomy quadrupling the number of families and genera.

Evaluating Darwin's naturalization hypothesis in experimental plant assemblages: phylogenetic relationships do not determine colonization success. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Darwin's naturalization hypothesis (DNH) proposes that colonization is less likely when the colonizing species is related to members of the invaded community, because evolutionary closeness intensifies competition among species that share similar ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a ubiquitous opportunistic pathogen, is a leading cause of chronic infection of airways in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Chronic infections typically arise from colonization by environmental strains, followed by adaptation of P ...

Plant soil feedback strength in relation to large-scale plant rarity and phylogenetic relatedness [PDF]
, 2018 Understanding why some species are rare while others are common remains a central and fascinating question in ecology. Recently, interactions with soil organisms have been shown to affect local abundances of plant species within communities, however, it ...
