Microbiome composition and function in aquatic vertebrates: small organisms making big impacts on aquatic animal health
Aquatic ecosystems are under increasing stress from global anthropogenic and natural
changes, including climate change, eutrophication, ocean acidification, and pollution. In this …

Where less may be more: how the rare biosphere pulls ecosystems strings
Rare species are increasingly recognized as crucial, yet vulnerable components of Earth's
ecosystems. This is also true for microbial communities, which are typically composed of a …

Microbiome definition re-visited: old concepts and new challenges
The field of microbiome research has evolved rapidly over the past few decades and has
become a topic of great scientific and public interest. As a result of this rapid growth in …

MiDAS 4: A global catalogue of full-length 16S rRNA gene sequences and taxonomy for studies of bacterial communities in wastewater treatment plants
Microbial communities are responsible for biological wastewater treatment, but our
knowledge of their diversity and function is still poor. Here, we sequence more than 5 million …

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 …

Rare microbial taxa as the major drivers of ecosystem multifunctionality in long-term fertilized soils
Soil microbial communities play an essential role in driving multiple functions (ie,
multifunctionality) that are central to the global biogeochemical cycles. Long-term fertilization …

Dynamics of the normal gut microbiota: a longitudinal one-year population study in Sweden
Temporal dynamics of the gut microbiota potentially limit the identification of microbial
features associated with health status. Here, we used whole-genome metagenomic and 16S …

Applying the core microbiome to understand host–microbe systems
A Risely - Journal of Animal Ecology, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
The host‐associated core microbiome was originally coined to refer to common groups of
microbes or genes that were likely to be particularly important for host biological function …

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 …

Synthetic microbiota reveal priority effects and keystone strains in the Arabidopsis phyllosphere
Multicellular organisms, including plants, are colonized by microorganisms, some of which
are beneficial to growth and health. The assembly rules for establishing plant microbiota are …
