Patterns and processes of microbial community assembly
Recent research has expanded our understanding of microbial community assembly. However,
the field of community ecology is inaccessible to many microbial ecologists because of …

[HTML][HTML] A developing symbiosis: enabling cross-talk between ecologists and microbiome scientists
Like all interactions, the success of cross-discipline collaborations relies on effective
communication. Ecology offers theoretical frameworks and lexicons to study microbiomes. Yet some …

A Naganishia in high places: functioning populations or dormant cells from the atmosphere?
Here, we review the current state of knowledge concerning high-elevation members of the
extremophilic Cryptococcus albidus clade (now classified as the genus Naganishia). These …

Decreases in average bacterial community rRNA operon copy number during succession
Trait-based studies can help clarify the mechanisms driving patterns of microbial community
assembly and coexistence. Here, we use a trait-based approach to explore the importance …
