Shifts and rebound in microbial community function following repeated introduction of a novel species

This study examines how microbial community function changes with repeated introduction of a novel species and finds functional shifts followed by recovery, while composition remains stable.

Community diversity affects functionality and species sorting during propagation of a natural microbial community

The paper examines how microbial community diversity impacts functionality and species sorting during propagation, finding that yeast significantly affects function but not long-term bacterial sorting.

The emergence, maintenance and demise of diversity in a spatially variable antibiotic regime

This study shows spatially variable antibiotic use delays but does not prevent resistance spread, driven by fitness trade-offs between resistance and growth rate.
