TL;DR: It is found that environmental factors are incomplete predictors of community structure and associations across plankton functional types and phylogenetic groups to be nonrandomly distributed on the network and driven by both local and global patterns.

TL;DR: Redundancy analysis showed a distinct and significant clustering of the gut microbiota of individuals consuming an AXOS diet, demonstrating a shift in the hindgut microbiome of fish consuming different preparation of AXOS, with potential application as prebiotics.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that urban communities generally consist of smaller species, and that the general trend towards smaller-sized species is overruled by filtering for larger species when there is positive covariation between size and dispersal, which can mitigate the low connectivity of ecological resources in urban settings.

TL;DR: The amount of variation explained by dispersal related factors increased with increasing geographic distance and increasing taxonomic resolution, and taxonomic turnover was lowest in highly connected habitats, once environmental factors were partialled out.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effects of administration of putative endogenous probiotics Lactococcus lactis spp. alone and in combination with arabinoxylan-oligosaccharides (AXOS), a new class of candidate prebiotics, in juvenile Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii).
