During recent years, many studies have shown that different processes including drift,
environmental selection and dispersal can be important for the assembly of bacterial …

The classical view states that microbial biogeography is not affected by dispersal barriers or
historical events, but only influenced by the local contemporary habitat conditions (species …

Stochastic processes can play an important role in microbial community assembly. Dispersal
limitation is one process that can increase stochasticity and obscure relationships between …

Deciphering responses of rare versus abundant bacterioplankton to environmental change,
crucial for understanding and mitigating of cyanobacterial blooms, is an important but poorly …

Bacteria inhabiting boreal freshwaters are part of metacommunities where local
assemblages are often linked by the flow of water in the landscape, yet the resulting spatial …

Microbes are transported in hydrological networks through many environments, but the
nature and dynamics of underlying microbial metacommunities and the impact of downslope …

We assessed the relative roles of local environmental conditions and dispersal on
community structure in a landscape of lakes for the major trophic groups. We use taxonomic …

Disentangling the mechanisms sha** bacterioplankton communities across freshwater
ecosystems requires considering a hydrologic dimension that can influence both dispersal …

The present review with focus on the last decade (2000–2010) aims to (i) collecting the
major hypotheses explaining freshwater biodiversity patterns,(ii) identifying the main …

The distribution of 15 typical freshwater bacterial groups in 15 diverse lakes in northern
Europe was investigated using reverse line blot hybridization. Statistical evaluation of the …
