Ecological approaches to community assembly have emphasized the interplay between neutral processes, niche-based environmental filtering and species sorting in an interactive milieu. Recently, progress has been made terms of aligning our vocabulary with conceptual advances, assessing how trait-based functional parameters differ from expectation traits vary along gradients. Experiments confirmed influence these processes on addressed role dispersal shaping local assemblages. Community phylogenetics forged common ground ecologists biogeographers, but it is not a proxy for approaches. theory need comparative synthesis that addresses relative importance niche varies among taxa, gradients, across scales. Towards goal, we suggest set probably confer increasing neutrality regionality review influences stress, disturbance scale assembly. We advocate complexity experiments order assess multiple processes. As example, provide evidence dispersal, trait interdependencies about equal experimental grassland.

Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 19–28 A recent increase in studies of β diversity has yielded a confusing array concepts, measures and methods. Here, we provide roadmap the most widely used ecologically relevant approaches for analysis through series mission statements. We distinguish two types diversity: directional turnover along gradient vs. non-directional variation. Different emphasize different properties ecological data. Such include degree emphasis on presence/absence relative abundance information inclusion exclusion joint absences. Judicious use multiple concert can uncover underlying nature patterns given dataset. case study Indonesian coral assemblages shows utility multi-faceted approach. advocate careful consideration questions, matched by appropriate analyses. The rigorous application null models will also help to reveal potential processes driving observed diversity.

Understanding the mechanisms controlling community diversity, functions, succession, and biogeography is a central, but poorly understood, topic in ecology, particularly microbial ecology. Although stochastic processes are believed to play nonnegligible roles shaping structure, their importance relative deterministic hotly debated. The of ecological stochasticity structure far less appreciated. Some main reasons for such heavy debates difficulty defining diverse methods used delineating stochasticity. Here, we provide critical review synthesis data from most recent studies on assembly We then describe both components embedded various processes, including selection, dispersal, diversification, drift. also different approaches inferring observational diversity patterns highlight experimental communities. In addition, research challenges, gaps, future directions research.

Recent research has expanded our understanding of microbial community assembly. However, the field ecology is inaccessible to many ecologists because inconsistent and often confusing terminology as well unnecessarily polarizing debates. Thus, we review recent literature on assembly, using framework Vellend (Q. Rev. Biol. 85:183-206, 2010) in an effort synthesize unify these contributions. We begin by discussing patterns biogeography then describe four basic processes (diversification, dispersal, selection, drift) that contribute also discuss different combinations where when they may be most important for shaping communities. The spatial temporal scales assembly are discussed relation processes. Throughout this paper, highlight differences between microbes macroorganisms generate hypotheses describing how end implications ecosystem function biodiversity.

SUMMARY The human gut microbiota is engaged in multiple interactions affecting host health during the host's entire life span. Microbes colonize neonatal immediately following birth. establishment and interactive development of this early are believed to be (at least partially) driven modulated by specific compounds present milk. It has been shown that certain genomes infant commensals, particular those bifidobacterial species, genetically adapted utilize glycans secretory fluid, thus representing a very intriguing example host-microbe coevolution, where both partners benefit. In recent years, various metagenomic studies have tried dissect composition functionality microbiome explore distribution across different ecological niches biogeography corresponding microbial consortia, including bacteria viruses, healthy ill subjects. Such analyses linked features microbiota/microbiome, such as reduced diversity or aberrant composition, intestinal illnesses infants disease states manifested at later stages life, asthma, inflammatory bowel disease, metabolic disorders. Thus, growing number reported on how composition/development may affect risk factors related adult conditions. This concept fueled strategies shape based functional food products. review, we describe microbiota, mechanisms drive its consortia molded natural artificial interventions. Finally, discuss relevance key players bifidobacteria, with respect their role disease.
