From simple rules to cycling in community assembly
Simulation studies of community assembly have frequently observed two related phenomena: (1) the humpty dumpty effect in which communities can not be reconstructed by ‘‘sequential’’ invasions (i.e. single species invasions separated by long intervals of time) and (2) cycling between sub-communities. To better understand the mechanisms underlying these phenomena, we analyze a system consisting o...
متن کاملChanges in Microbial (Bacteria and Archaea) Plankton Community Structure after Artificial Dispersal in Grazer-Free Microcosms
Microbes are considered to have a global distribution due to their high dispersal capabilities. However, our knowledge of the way geographically distant microbial communities assemble after dispersal in a new environment is limited. In this study, we examined whether communities would converge because similar taxa would be selected under the same environmental conditions, or would diverge becau...
متن کاملAdaptive radiation in microbial microcosms.
It has often been argued that evolutionary diversification is the result of divergent natural selection for specialization on alternative resources. I provide a comprehensive review of experiments that examine the ecology and genetics of resource specialization and adaptive radiation in microbial microcosms. In these experiments, resource heterogeneity generates divergent selection for speciali...
متن کاملMPowering ecologists: community assembly tools for community assembly rules
Null model tests of presence–absence data (‘NMTPAs’) provide important tools for inferring eff ects of competition, facilitation, habitat fi ltering, and other ecological processes from observational data. Many NMTPAs have been developed, but they often yield confl icting conclusions when applied to the same data. Type I and II error rates, size, power, robustness and bias provide important cri...
متن کاملStochastic microbial community assembly decreases biogeochemical function
Much research has focused on improving ecosystem models by incorporating microbial regulation of biogeochemistry. However, models still struggle to predict biogeochemical function in future scenarios linked to accelerating global environmental change. Ecological mechanisms may influence the relationship between microbial communities and biogeochemistry, and here, we show that stochastic dispers...
