In the Anthropocene, increasing pervasive plastic pollution is creating a new environmental
compartment, the plastisphere. How the plastisphere affects microbial communities and …

Although pervasive microplastics (MPs) pollution in terrestrial ecosystems invites increasing
global concern, impact of MPs on soil microbial community assembly and ecosystem …

Microplastics (MPs) ubiquitous in environments promote the dissemination of antibiotic
resistance genes (ARGs), threatening ecosystem safety and human health. However …

Myriad inherent and variable environmental features are controlling the assembly and
succession of bacterial communities colonizing on mangrove microplastics (MPs). However …

Ecological dependencies–where organisms rely on other organisms for survival–are a
ubiquitous feature of life on earth. Multicellular hosts rely on symbionts to provide essential …

Evolution can occur over ecological timescales, suggesting a potentially important role for
rapid evolution in shaping community trait distributions. However, evidence of concordant …

Biotransformation mediated by microbes can affect the biogeochemical cycle of arsenic.
However, arsenic biotransformation mediated by earthworm-related microorganisms has not …

Fungal communities inhabiting plant roots and the soil diverge because they are shaped by
differences in abiotic environment and plant filtering. Therefore, these two communities will …

Exploring plastic bacterial community succession is a crucial step in analyzing and
predicting the ecological assembly processes of the plastisphere and its associated …

Our understanding of how microbes respond to micropollutants, such as pesticides, is
almost wholly based on single-species responses to individual chemicals. However, in …
