The microbial rare biosphere: current concepts, methods and ecological principles
Our ability to describe the highly diverse pool of low abundance populations present in
natural microbial communities is increasing at an unprecedented pace. Yet we currently lack …

Metabolic flexibility allows bacterial habitat generalists to become dominant in a frequently disturbed ecosystem
Ecological theory suggests that habitat disturbance differentially influences distributions of
habitat generalist and specialist species. While well-established for macroorganisms, this …

Chemosynthetic and photosynthetic bacteria contribute differentially to primary production across a steep desert aridity gradient
Desert soils harbour diverse communities of aerobic bacteria despite lacking substantial
organic carbon inputs from vegetation. A major question is therefore how these communities …

Hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria are abundant in desert soils and strongly stimulated by hydration
How the diverse bacterial communities inhabiting desert soils maintain energy and carbon
needs is much debated. Traditionally, most bacteria are thought to persist by using organic …

Macrophysiology for decision‐making
SL Chown - Journal of Zoology, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
In an 1854 lecture, TH Huxley suggested that physiology should be measured by its
contribution to science, its practical worth and the extent to which it should be made a …

Soil and bark biodiversity forms discrete islands between vineyards that are not affected by distance or management regime
Within geographic regions, the existing data suggest that physical habitat (bark, soil, etc.) is
the strongest factor determining agroecosystem microbial community assemblage, followed …

Biotic and abiotic factors distinctly drive contrasting biogeographic patterns between phyllosphere and soil resistomes in natural ecosystems
The phyllosphere and soil are two of the most important reservoirs of antibiotic resistance
genes (ARGs) in terrestrial ecosystems. However, comparative studies on the biogeographic …

Expanding Antarctic biogeography: microbial ecology of Antarctic island soils
The majority of islands surrounding the Antarctic continent are poorly characterized in terms
of microbial macroecology due to their remote locations, geographical isolation and access …
