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 …

Do bacterial and fungal communities assemble differently during primary succession?
High‐throughput sequencing technologies are now allowing us to study patterns of community
assembly for diverse microbial assemblages across environmental gradients and during …

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 …

[HTML][HTML] Phylogenetic factorization of compositional data yields lineage-level associations in microbiome datasets
Marker gene sequencing of microbial communities has generated big datasets of microbial
relative abundances varying across environmental conditions, sample sites and treatments. …

Phosphorus, not nitrogen, limits plants and microbial primary producers following glacial retreat
Current models of ecosystem development hold that low nitrogen availability limits the earliest
stages of primary succession, but these models were developed from studies conducted …

[HTML][HTML] Nutrient addition dramatically accelerates microbial community succession
The ecological mechanisms driving community succession are widely debated, particularly
for microorganisms. While successional soil microbial communities are known to undergo …

[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 …

[HTML][HTML] Metagenomic evidence for metabolism of trace atmospheric gases by high-elevation desert Actinobacteria
Previous surveys of very dry Atacama Desert mineral soils have consistently revealed
sparse communities of non-photosynthetic microbes. The functional nature of these …
