Stochastic processes dominate community assembly in cichlid communities in Lake Tanganyika
23 The African Great Lakes are characterized by an extraordinary diversity of endemic cichlid 24 fish species. The cause of this diversity is still largely unknown. Most studies have tried to 25 solve this question by focusing on macro-evolutionary processes, such as speciation. 26 However, the ecological processes determining local cichlid diversity have so far been 27 understudied, even thoug...
متن کاملDeterministic processes vary during community assembly for ecologically dissimilar taxa
The continuum hypothesis states that both deterministic and stochastic processes contribute to the assembly of ecological communities. However, the contextual dependency of these processes remains an open question that imposes strong limitations on predictions of community responses to environmental change. Here we measure community and habitat turnover across multiple vertical soil horizons at...
متن کاملStochastic microbial community assembly decreases biogeochemical function
Much research has focused on improving ecosystem models by incorporating microbial regulation of biogeochemistry. However, models still struggle to predict biogeochemical function in future scenarios linked to accelerating global environmental change. Ecological mechanisms may influence the relationship between microbial communities and biogeochemistry, and here, we show that stochastic dispers...
متن کاملPatterns and processes of microbial community assembly.
Recent research has expanded our understanding of microbial community assembly. However, the field of community ecology is inaccessible to many microbial ecologists because of inconsistent and often confusing terminology as well as unnecessarily polarizing debates. Thus, we review recent literature on microbial community assembly, using the framework of Vellend (Q. Rev. Biol. 85:183-206, 2010) ...
متن کاملFour fundamental processes of community assembly
A central aim of ecology is understanding the mechanisms of community assembly. To address this problem, community assembly is often modeled as a sampling process, in which species are selected from a pool of available species, possibly with effects of interspecific interactions, habitat filtering, and other ecological mechanisms. However, the fundamental stochastic sampling process by which sp...
