Island biogeography of soil bacteria and fungi: similar patterns, but different mechanisms
Microbes, similar to plants and animals, exhibit biogeographic patterns. However, in contrast
with the considerable knowledge on the island biogeography of higher organisms, we know …

Mechanisms of soil bacterial and fungal community assembly differ among and within islands
The study of islands has made substantial contributions to the development of evolutionary
and ecological theory. However, we know little about microbial community assembly on …

Microbial island biogeography: isolation shapes the life history characteristics but not diversity of root-symbiotic fungal communities
Island biogeography theory is one of the most influential paradigms in ecology. That island
characteristics, including remoteness, can profoundly modulate biological diversity has been …

Towards revealing the global diversity and community assembly of soil eukaryotes
Soil fungi, protists, and animals (ie, the eukaryome) play a critical role in key ecosystem
functions in terrestrial ecosystems. Yet, we lack a holistic understanding of the processes …
