Ugalde,Robert R. Dunn,Robert R. Dunn +25 more
TL;DR: The emerging subfield of 'indoor biome' studies, situated at the intersection of evolutionary ecology, anthropology, architecture, and human ecology, is reviewed and some of its evolutionary dimensions are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
In Situ Phylogenetic Structure and Diversity of Wild Bradyrhizobium Communities
TL;DR: Investigation of phylogenetic clustering and diversity in a natural community of rhizobial bacteria from the genus Bradyrhizobium suggests that host infection provides ample rewards to symbiotic bacteria but that host specificity can strongly structure only a small subset of the rhizOBial community.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic diversity theory sheds light on the structure of microbial communities.
James P. O'Dwyer,James P. O'Dwyer,Steven W. Kembel,Steven W. Kembel,Jessica L. Green,Jessica L. Green +5 more
TL;DR: This work brings a sampling theory perspective to microbial communities, considering a local community of co-occuring organisms as a sample from a larger regional pool, and applies this framework to make analytical predictions for local phylogenetic diversity arising from a given metacommunity and community assembly process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecophylogenetics Clarifies the Evolutionary Association between Mammals and Their Gut Microbiota
Christopher A. Gaulke,Holly K. Arnold,Ian R. Humphreys,Steven W. Kembel,James P. O'Dwyer,Thomas J. Sharpton +5 more
TL;DR: M mammalian gut microbiota that possess traits linked to mammalian phylogeny, point to the existence of a core set of microbes that comprise the mammalian gut microbiome, and clarify potential evolutionary or ecologic mechanisms driving the gut microbiome’s diversification throughout mammalian evolution are revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tree Leaf Bacterial Community Structure and Diversity Differ along a Gradient of Urban Intensity.
TL;DR: It is found that urban environments influence tree bacterial community composition, and the results suggest that feedback between human activity and plant microbiomes could shape urban microbiomes.
