[HTML][HTML] Ecological and evolutionary implications of microbial dispersal
Dispersal is simply defined as the movement of species across space and time. Despite this
terse definition, dispersal is an essential process with direct ecological and evolutionary …

Bottom-up and top-down control of dispersal across major organismal groups
Ecology and evolution unfold in spatially structured communities, where dispersal links
dynamics across scales. Because dispersal is multicausal, identifying general drivers …

[HTML][HTML] Evolutionary history, immigration history, and the extent of diversification in community assembly
During community assembly, species may accumulate not only by immigration, but also by
in situ diversification. Diversification has intrigued biologists because its extent varies even …

The evolution of the competition–dispersal trade-off affects α-and β-diversity in a heterogeneous metacommunity
Difference in dispersal ability is a key driver of species coexistence in metacommunities.
However, the available frameworks for interpreting species diversity patterns in natura often …

[HTML][HTML] Dispersal-based microbial community assembly decreases biogeochemical function
Ecological mechanisms influence relationships among microbial communities, which in turn
impact biogeochemistry. In particular, microbial communities are assembled by deterministic …
