Stochastic community assembly: does it matter in microbial ecology?
Understanding the mechanisms controlling community diversity, functions, succession, and
biogeography is a central, but poorly understood, topic in ecology, particularly in microbial …

Fungi as mediators linking organisms and ecosystems
Fungi form a major and diverse component of most ecosystems on Earth. They are both
micro and macroorganisms with high and varying functional diversity as well as great …

Stochastic processes shape microeukaryotic community assembly in a subtropical river across wet and dry seasons
Background The deep mechanisms (deterministic and/or stochastic processes) underlying
community assembly are a central challenge in microbial ecology. However, the relative …

Abundant fungi adapt to broader environmental gradients than rare fungi in agricultural fields
Soil communities are intricately linked to ecosystem functioning, and a predictive
understanding of how communities assemble in response to environmental change is of …

Distinct patterns and processes of abundant and rare eukaryotic plankton communities following a reservoir cyanobacterial bloom
Plankton communities normally consist of few abundant and many rare species, yet little is
known about the ecological role of rare planktonic eukaryotes. Here we used a 18S …
