TL;DR: Both patterns are unlikely to be the result of ecological drift, but are inevitable emergent properties of open microbial systems resulting mainly from biotic interactions and environmental and spatial processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A guide to phylogenetic metrics for conservation, community ecology and macroecology.

Jin,Arne Ø. Mooers,Sandrine Pavoine,Oliver Purschke,David W. Redding,Dan F. Rosauer,Marten Winter,Florent Mazel +18 more
TL;DR: Existing metrics in phylogenetic diversity metrics are organized by expanding on a unifying framework for phylogenetic information to improve the choice, application, and interpretation of phylo‐diversity metrics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unraveling the processes shaping mammalian gut microbiomes over evolutionary time.
Mathieu Groussin,Florent Mazel,Jon G. Sanders,Christopher Smillie,Christopher Smillie,Sébastien Lavergne,Wilfried Thuiller,Eric J. Alm,Eric J. Alm +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that host phylogeny and major dietary shifts have affected the distribution of different gut bacterial lineages and did so on vastly different bacterial phylogenetic resolutions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hierarchical effects of environmental filters on the functional structure of plant communities: a case study in the French Alps
Francesco de Bello,Sandra Lavorel,Sébastien Lavergne,Cécile H. Albert,Isabelle Boulangeat,Florent Mazel,Wilfried Thuiller +6 more
TL;DR: This paper tested the relative infl uence of multiple environmental factors on various metrics of plant functional trait structure and components of functional trait diversity in 82 vegetation plots in the Guisane Valley, French Alps to suggest that predicting plant community responses will require a hierarchical multi-facet approach.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Assessment of gut microbiomes from ∼900 vertebrate species, including 315 mammals and 491 birds, concludes that host-gut microbiome phylosymbiosis depends on factors convergently absent in birds and bats, potentially associated with physiological adaptations to flight.
