Book ChapterDOI

Phenotypic Characterization and the Principles of Comparative Systematics

TL;DR: The methods described in this chapter are based primarily on methods developed for the characterization and identification of organisms which have usually been isolated on nutrient-rich media.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biodiversity at multiple trophic levels is needed for ecosystem multifunctionality

Santiago Soliveres, +63 more
- 25 Aug 2016 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that primary producers, herbivorous insects and microbial decomposers seem to be particularly important drivers of ecosystem functioning, as shown by the strong and frequent positive associations of their richness or abundance with multiple ecosystem services.
Journal ArticleDOI

Land-use intensification causes multitrophic homogenization of grassland communities

Martin M. Gossner, +53 more
- 30 Nov 2016 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that even moderate increases in local land-use intensity (LUI) cause biotic homogenization across microbial, plant and animal groups, both above- and belowground, and that this is largely independent of changes in α-diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identifying the fundamental units of bacterial diversity: a paradigm shift to incorporate ecology into bacterial systematics.

TL;DR: This work introduces a sequence-based approach (“ecotype simulation”) to model the evolutionary dynamics of bacterial populations and to identify ecotypes within a natural community, focusing here on two Bacillus clades surveyed from the “Evolution Canyons” of Israel.
Journal ArticleDOI

A robust procedure for comparing multiple means under heteroscedasticity in unbalanced designs.

TL;DR: A new statistical multiple comparison procedure for assessing multiple means based on a general statistical framework for simultaneous inference and robust covariance estimators that works well under biologically realistic scenarios of unbalanced group sizes, non-normality and heteroscedasticity.
