Journal ArticleDOI
A framework for community and ecosystem genetics: from genes to ecosystems
Thomas G. Whitham,Joseph K. Bailey,Joseph K. Bailey,Jennifer A. Schweitzer,Jennifer A. Schweitzer,Stephen M. Shuster,Randy K. Bangert,Carri J. LeRoy,Carri J. LeRoy,Eric V. Lonsdorf,Eric V. Lonsdorf,G. J. Allan,Stephen P. DiFazio,Brad M. Potts,Dylan G. Fischer,Catherine A. Gehring,Richard L. Lindroth,Jane C. Marks,Stephen C. Hart,Gina M. Wimp,Stuart C. Wooley +20 more
TL;DR: This framework could allow us to understand, for the first time, the genetic basis of ecosystem processes, and the effect of such phenomena as climate change and introduced transgenic organisms on entire communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Litter quality, stream characteristics and litter diversity influence decomposition rates and macroinvertebrates
TL;DR: This study shows that leaf litter diversity has the capacity to affect in-stream decomposition rates and stream invertebrates, but that these effects depend on both litter quality and stream characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring terrestrial subsidies to aquatic food webs using stable isotopes of hydrogen.
TL;DR: The consistent differences between leaves and algae in deltaD among these four watersheds, along with the intermediate values in higher trophic levels, indicate that natural abundance hydrogen isotope signatures are a powerful tool for partitioning energy flow in aquatic ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative Microbial Ecology through Stable Isotope Probing
Bruce A. Hungate,Rebecca L. Mau,Egbert Schwartz,J. Gregory Caporaso,Paul Dijkstra,Natasja van Gestel,Benjamin J. Koch,Cindy M. Liu,Theresa A. McHugh,Jane C. Marks,Ember M. Morrissey,Lance B. Price +11 more
TL;DR: qSIP is demonstrated using soil incubations, in which soil bacteria exhibited strong taxonomic variations in 18O and 13C composition after exposure to [18O]water or [13C]glucose, demonstrating the benefit of a quantitative approach to stable isotope probing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Linking soil bacterial biodiversity and soil carbon stability
Rebecca L. Mau,Cindy M. Liu,Maliha Aziz,Egbert Schwartz,Paul Dijkstra,Jane C. Marks,Lance B. Price,Paul Keim,Bruce A. Hungate +8 more
TL;DR: Using dual-stable isotope probing, it is shown that changes in the diversity and composition of two functional bacterial groups occur with this ‘priming’ effect, with consequences for native soil C stability.
