The return of the variance: intraspecific variability in community ecology
Cyrille Violle,Cyrille Violle,Brian J. Enquist,Brian J. Enquist,Brian J. McGill,Lin Jiang,Cécile H. Albert,Cécile H. Albert,Catherine M. Hulshof,Vincent Jung,Julie Messier +10 more
TL;DR: New T-statistics ('T' for trait) are introduced, based on the comparison of intraspecific and interspecific variances of functional traits across organizational levels, to operationally incorporate intrapecific variability into community ecology theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic limiting similarity and competitive exclusion
Cyrille Violle,Cyrille Violle,Cyrille Violle,Diana R. Nemergut,Diana R. Nemergut,Zhichao Pu,Lin Jiang +6 more
TL;DR: A formal experimental test of the phylogenetic limiting similarity hypothesis using pairs of bacterivorous protist species in a multigenerational experiment supports phylogenetic relatedness as a useful predictor of the outcomes of competitive interactions in ecological communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global patterns in the biogeography of bacterial taxa
Diana R. Nemergut,Elizabeth K. Costello,Micah Hamady,Catherine A. Lozupone,Lin Jiang,Steven K. Schmidt,Noah Fierer,Alan R. Townsend,Cory C. Cleveland,Lee F. Stanish,Rob Knight +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reveal patterns in the distribution of individual bacterial taxa at multiple levels of phylogenetic resolution within and between Earth's major habitat types and show that the most cosmopolitan taxa are also the most abundant in individual assemblages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in assembly processes in soil bacterial communities following a wildfire disturbance
Scott Ferrenberg,Sean P. O’Neill,Sean P. O’Neill,Joseph E. Knelman,Joseph E. Knelman,Bryan Theodore-Lon Todd,Sam Duggan,Daniel Bradley,Taylor Robinson,Steven K. Schmidt,Alan R. Townsend,Alan R. Townsend,Mark W. Williams,Mark W. Williams,Cory C. Cleveland,Brett A. Melbourne,Lin Jiang,Diana R. Nemergut,Diana R. Nemergut +18 more
TL;DR: A three-phase model featuring shifts in the relative importance of niche and neutral processes as a function of time since disturbance is proposed to help determine where and when detailed studies of community composition are valuable for predicting ecosystem function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Habitat fragmentation and biodiversity conservation: key findings and future challenges
Maxwell C. Wilson,Xiao-Yong Chen,Richard T. Corlett,Raphael K. Didham,Ping Ding,Robert D. Holt,Marcel Holyoak,Guang Hu,Alice C. Hughes,Lin Jiang,William F. Laurance,Jiajia Liu,Stuart L. Pimm,Scott K. Robinson,Sabrina E. Russo,Xingfeng Si,David S. Wilcove,Jianguo Wu,Mingjian Yu +18 more
TL;DR: The International Workshop on Habitat Fragmentation and Biodiversity Conservation, held at the Thousand Island Lake, Zhejiang, China, discussed threats to biodiversity in fragmented landscapes and how fragmentation research can identify and help mitigate these threats as mentioned in this paper.
