Our understanding of the link between the human microbiome and disease, including
obesity, inflammatory bowel disease, arthritis and autism, is rapidly expanding …

Advances in nucleic acid sequencing technology have enabled expansion of our ability to
profile microbial diversity. These large datasets of taxonomic and functional diversity are key …

Microbial metabolism powers biogeochemical cycling in Earth's ecosystems. The taxonomic
composition of microbial communities varies substantially between environments, but the …

Microbial ecology as a scientific field is fundamentally driven by technological advance. The
past decade's revolution in DNA sequencing cost and throughput has made it possible for …

Wine grapes present a unique biogeography model, wherein microbial biodiversity patterns
across viticultural zones not only answer questions of dispersal and community …

Microbial communities are at the heart of all ecosystems, and yet microbial community
behavior in disturbed environments remains difficult to measure and predict. Understanding …

Soil organic carbon performs a number of functions in ecosystems and it is clear that
microbial communities play important roles in land–atmosphere carbon (C) exchange and …

The influence of biotic interactions on microbial community assembly is intensely debated.
We hypothesized that keystone taxa, which influence community assembly through strong …

Plant–animal interactions are fundamentally important in ecosystems, but have often been
ignored by studies of climate-change impacts on biodiversity. Here, we present a trait-based …

Earthquake magnitude prediction for Hindukush region has been carried out in this research
using the temporal sequence of historic seismic activities in combination with the machine …
