Picophytoplankton of the Northeast U.S. Shelf: Community Composition and Dynamics by Stevens, Bethany Lynn Fowler

“…Next, to reveal how these dynamics relate to changes in community composition, I analyze 9-years of monthly metabarcoding data and characterize taxonomic variability within the picoeukaryote assemblage. …”

Ectomycorrhizal community composition, diversity, and their environmental drivers across common UK temperate woodlands by Ong, Wei Sern

“…ECM community composition was found to be significantly different between the habitats, and pH and vegetation species richness were main variables driving dissimilarity in community composition. …”

Relationships between fungal community composition in decomposing leaf litter and home‐field advantage effects by Veen, G. F. Ciska, van der Putten, Wim H., Snoek, Basten L., Bakx‐Schotman, Tanja, Wardle, David A.

“…Instead, fungal community composition on decomposing litter differed substantially between litter types for unsterilized litter, suggesting that the leaf microbiome, either directly or indirectly, is an important determinant of fungal community composition on decomposing leaves. …”

Simultaneous nitrification and denitrification of real domestic wastewater using novel biodegradable Cocos Nucifera fibre as biofilter media and carbon source: performances and microbial community composition by Loh, Zhang Zhan, Zaidi, Nur Syamimi, Yong, Ee Ling, Bahrodin, Muhammad Burhanuddin, Aris, Azmi

Bacterial biofilm colonization and succession in tropical marine waters are similar across different types of stone materials used in seawall construction by Summers, Stephen, Pek, Y. Shona, Vinod, Deepthi P., McDougald, Diane, Todd, Peter A., Birch, William R., Rice, Scott A.

“…We conclude that marine biofilms converged over time to a generic marine biofilm, rather than the underlying stone substrata type playing a significant role in driving community composition.…”

Diauxic lags explain unexpected coexistence in multi‐resource environments by Bloxham, Blox, Lee, Hyunseok, Gore, Jeff

“…We model this tradeoff to accurately predict how environmental changes affect community composition. We extend our work by surveying a large set of competitions and observe coexistence nearly four times as frequently when the slow‐grower is the fast‐switcher. …”

Plant-soil and biotic interactions in tropical forests by Collins, Colton Lawrence Edward Iolani

“…These impacts, while not altering tree diversity or forest structure, lead to important community composition changes. Shifts in species like Shorea albida significantly impact ecosystem processes, notably aboveground carbon storage. …”

Experimental heatwaves facilitate invasion and alter species interactions and composition in a tropical host‐parasitoid community by Chen, J, Lewis, O

“…Our study, therefore, reveals differing, sometimes contrasting, impacts of extreme temperatures and constant warming on community composition. It also highlights how the scale and direction of climate impacts could be further modified by invading species within a bi-trophic community network.…”

Climate change effects on plant-soil feedbacks and consequences for biodiversity and functioning of terrestrial ecosystems by Pugnaire, Francisco I., Morillo, José A., Peñuelas, Josep, Reich, Peter B., Bardgett, Richard D., Gaxiola, Aurora, Wardle, David A., van der Putten, Wim H.

“…Climate change influences PSFs through the performance of interacting species and altered community composition resulting from changes in species distributions. …”

Application of a unique miniature MBR for screening the biodegradation of brominated flame retardants by Segev, Osnat, Brenner, Asher, Kushmaro, Ariel, Shapiro, Orr H.

“…Following successful debromination and complete biodegradation of the two target compounds in the mMBR, we used molecular and bioinformatic techniques to track changes in bacterial community composition during the biodegradation process.…”

Trap type affects dung beetle taxonomic and functional diversity in Bornean tropical forests by Ong, Xin Rui, David, Hemprich-Bennett, Gray, Claudia, Kemp, Victoria, Chung, Arthur Y. C., Slade, Eleanor M.

“…We present the first quantitative comparison of the community composition, taxonomic and functional diversity of dung beetles caught in human dung BPTs and FITs in Bornean tropical forests. …”

Stability and succession of the rhizosphere microbiota depends upon plant type and soil composition by Tkacz, A, Cheema, J, Chandra, G, Grant, A, Poole, P

“…Arabidopsis had the weakest influence on its microbiota and in compost replicate microcosms converged on three alternative community compositions rather than a single distinctive community. …”
