Journal ArticleDOI
Relative roles of niche and neutral processes in structuring a soil microbial community
TL;DR: One of the most comprehensive investigations of community-level processes acting on soil microbes is revealed, revealing a community that although influenced by stochastic processes, still responded in a predictable manner to a major abiotic niche axis, soil pH.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distinct seasonal assemblages of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi revealed by massively parallel pyrosequencing

TL;DR: A seasonally changing supply of host-plant carbon, reflecting changes in temperature and sunshine hours, may be the driving force in regulating the temporal dynamics of AM fungal communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
DNA metabarcoding-Need for robust experimental designs to draw sound ecological conclusions.

TL;DR: This book is dedicated to the victims of the Paris terror attacks of 22 July 1997, which claimed the lives of 129 people and injured more than 200 others.
Journal ArticleDOI
Idiosyncrasy and overdominance in the structure of natural communities of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi: is there a role for stochastic processes?
TL;DR: E ecological models derived from studies on larger organisms to microbial communities highlight that, to a first approximation, microbial communities follow similar processes and have similar patterns to those of macroorganisms, but also the need for large-scale microbial data sets, if to understand the patterns and processes regulating global biodiversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Next-Generation Global Biomonitoring: Large-scale, Automated Reconstruction of Ecological Networks.
David A. Bohan,Corinne Vacher,Alireza Tamaddoni-Nezhad,Alan Raybould,Alex J. Dumbrell,Guy Woodward +5 more
TL;DR: A new global-scale, ecological approach to biomonitoring emerging within the next decade that can detect ecosystem change accurately, cheaply, and generically is envisioned.
