Maximum entropy networks predict fluctuations and stability of food web energetics

The paper uses maximum entropy networks to predict how food webs respond to perturbations by analyzing their intrinsic fluctuations and stability.

Community structure of known and previously unknown endobacteria associated with spores of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.

The paper investigates endobacterial communities in AMF spores, revealing new bacterial diversity and competition dynamics between known and unknown endobacteria.

Air mass source determines airborne microbial diversity at the ocean-atmosphere interface of the Great Barrier Reef marine ecosystem

The paper shows that air mass origin affects airborne microbial diversity at the Great Barrier Reef, with oceanic and continental trajectories influencing bacterial and fungal composition.

Microbial dispersal limitation to isolated soil habitats in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica

The paper investigates microbial dispersal in Antarctic Dry Valleys, finding limited connectivity between airborne inputs and soil communities, with fungi more isolated than bacteria.

Subsoil arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities in arable soil differ from those in topsoil

The paper compares subsoil and topsoil arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities, finding unique OTUs and structural differences in both depths.

Unifying concepts of biological function from molecules to ecosystems.

The paper defines a unifying concept of biological function across scales, using biomass as a metric, and illustrates it with a community-level model of nutrient cycling and mutualism.
