The comparative evidence for urban species sorting by anthropogenic noise [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2018
Anthropogenic noise is more intense at lower sound frequencies, which could decrease urban tolerance of animals with low-frequency vocalizations. Four large comparative studies tested whether anthropogenic noise filters bird species according to the ...

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.

The Temperature Dependence of Phytoplankton Stoichiometry: Investigating the Roles of Species Sorting and Local Adaptation [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
The elemental composition of phytoplankton (C:N:P stoichiometry) is a critical factor regulating nutrient cycling, primary production and energy transfer through planktonic food webs.

Hydrochemical and Seasonally Conditioned Changes of Microbial Communities in the Tufa-Forming Freshwater Network Ecosystem

mSphere, 2023
Freshwater network ecosystems consist of interconnected lotic and lentic environments within the same catchment area. Using Plitvice Lakes as an example, we studied the changes in environmental conditions and microbial communities (bacteria and fungi ...

Environmental Selection Shapes Bacterial Community Composition in Traditionally Fermented Maize-Based Foods from Benin, Tanzania and Zambia

Microorganisms, 2022
Natural (microbial) communities are complex ecosystems with many interactions and cross-dependencies. Among other factors, selection pressures from the environment are thought to drive the composition and functionality of microbial communities. Fermented

Species dynamics in natural bacterial communities over multiple rounds of propagation

Evolutionary Applications, 2022
Our experimental work illustrates how microbial ecosystems can be shaped by selective pressures over long‐term ecological time scales. Natural microbial ecosystems generally consist of various co‐existing species, where community composition describes ...

Integrating Disturbance, Seasonality, Multi-Year Temporal Dynamics, and Dormancy Into the Dynamics and Conservation of Metacommunities

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
The metacommunity framework has rapidly become a dominant concept used by ecologists to understand community assembly. By emphasizing extinction-colonization dynamics, dispersal, and species’ niche requirements in determining community structure ...

Dispersal and life-history traits in a spider with rapid range expansion [PDF]

, 2020
Background Dispersal and reproduction are key life-history traits that jointly determine species' potential to expand their distribution, for instance in light of ongoing climate change.
