Ecosystem size-induced environmental fluctuations affect the temporal dynamics of community assembly mechanisms

The paper examines how mesocosm size affects environmental fluctuations and their impact on bacterial community assembly mechanisms over time.

Disentangling metacommunity processes using multiple metrics in space and time

The paper develops a Virtual ecologist approach to evaluate metacommunity assembly processes using spatial and temporal community structure statistics and random forests.

Streamlined freshwater bacterioplankton Nanopelagicales (acI) and Ca. Fonsibacter (LD12) thrive in functional cohorts

The paper investigates cooperation strategies in freshwater bacterioplankton, showing how different microbial genera thrive through ecotype or community-level interactions.

Warming-enhanced priority effects at population and community levels in aquatic bacteria

This study shows warming can enhance priority effects in aquatic bacteria by increasing temperature's impact on community structure and reducing late-arriving species success.

Using null models to compare bacterial and microeukaryotic metacommunity assembly under shifting environmental conditions

The paper uses null models to analyze how bacterial and microeukaryotic communities assemble under changing environmental conditions, finding distinct assembly processes between the groups.

Biofilm thickness matters: Deterministic assembly of different functions and communities in nitrifying biofilms

This study shows that biofilm thickness significantly affects community composition and ecosystem function in nitrifying biofilms.
