Experimental Evidence that Stochasticity Contributes to Bacterial Composition and Functioning in a Decomposer Community
ABSTRACT Stochasticity emerging from random differences in replication, death, mutation, and dispersal is thought to alter the composition of ecological communities. However, the importance of stochastic effects remains somewhat speculative because stochasticity is not directly measured but is inste...
