Journal ArticleDOI
Picante: R tools for integrating phylogenies and ecology
Steven W. Kembel,Peter Cowan,Matthew R. Helmus,William K. Cornwell,Hélène Morlon,David D. Ackerly,Simon P. Blomberg,Campbell O. Webb +7 more
TL;DR: Picante is a software package that provides a comprehensive set of tools for analyzing the phylogenetic and trait diversity of ecological communities and performs tests for phylogenetic signal in trait distributions, community structure and species interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The merging of community ecology and phylogenetic biology
TL;DR: Several key areas are reviewed in which phylogenetic information helps to resolve long-standing controversies in community ecology, challenges previous assumptions, and opens new areas of investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylocom: software for the analysis of phylogenetic community structure and trait evolution.
TL;DR: Phylocom calculates numerous metrics of phylogenetic community structure and trait similarity within communities and measures phylogenetic signal and correlated evolution for species traits.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This paper conducted a meta-analysis of the relative extent of ITV within and among plant communities worldwide, using a data set encompassing 629 communities (plots) and 36 functional traits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Architectural design influences the diversity and structure of the built environment microbiome
Steven W. Kembel,Evan P. C. Jones,Jeff Kline,Dale Northcutt,Jason Stenson,Ann M Womack,Brendan J. M. Bohannan,G. Z. Brown,Jessica L. Green,Jessica L. Green +9 more
TL;DR: The observed relationship between building design and airborne bacterial diversity suggests that the authors can manage indoor environments, altering through building designand operation the community of microbial species that potentially colonize the human microbiome during their time indoors.
