Association of Host and Microbial Species Diversity across Spatial Scales in Desert Rodent Communities
Relationships between host and microbial diversity have important ecological and applied implications. Theory predicts that these relationships will depend on the spatio-temporal scale of the analysis and the niche breadth of the organisms in question, but representative data on host-microbial community assemblage in nature is lacking. We employed a natural gradient of rodent species richness a...
متن کاملMicrobial Communities in a High Arctic Polar Desert Landscape
The High Arctic is dominated by polar desert habitats whose microbial communities are poorly understood. In this study, we used next generation sequencing to describe the α- and β-diversity of microbial communities in polar desert soils from the Kongsfjorden region of Svalbard. Ten phyla dominated the soils and accounted for 95% of all sequences, with the Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Chl...
متن کاملHeterogeneity of vaginal microbial communities within individuals.
Recent culture-independent studies have revealed that a healthy vaginal ecosystem harbors a surprisingly complex assemblage of microorganisms. However, the spatial distribution and composition of vaginal microbial populations have not been investigated using molecular methods. Here, we evaluated site-specific microbial composition within the vaginal ecosystem and examined the influence of sampl...
متن کاملColonization patterns of soil microbial communities in the Atacama Desert
BACKGROUND The Atacama Desert is one of the driest deserts in the world and its soil, with extremely low moisture, organic carbon content, and oxidizing conditions, is considered to be at the dry limit for life. RESULTS Analyses of high throughput DNA sequence data revealed that bacterial communities from six geographic locations in the hyper-arid core and along a North-South moisture gradien...
متن کاملMeasuring the Spatial Heterogeneity in Environmental Externalities from Driving: A Comparison of Gasoline and Electric Vehicles∗
Electric vehicles offer the promise of reduced environmental externalities relative to their gasoline counterparts. We determine the spatial heterogeneity in these externalities and evaluate several spatially-differentiated policies to correct them. To do this, we combine a discrete-choice model of new vehicle purchases, an econometric analysis of the electric power industry, and the AP2 air po...
