Q2) What ecological mechanisms cause this change?
Various ecological mechanisms could be behind the greater arthropod β-diversity we observed in rubber plantations.
Q4) Which species are responsible for given ecological mechanisms?
Discerning the ecological mechanisms that generate and maintain diversity of natural communities is fundamental to the informed management of ecosystems1.
We attempted to further identify the ecological mechanisms underlying the prevalence of numerous distinct populations of the same higher-order taxonomic lineages.
Given the health implications, "understanding the ecological mechanisms that drive Lyme disease in nature is very important," she said.
Rather, each species was relevant and relied on different ecological mechanisms.
Q3) How does the importance of ecological mechanisms change with sown species richness?
To understand the underlying ecological mechanisms during soil remediation, a pragmatic approach using molecular tools is proposed.
Some ecological mechanisms are suggested to operate in the interaction between P. oceanica and the held fish assemblage.
Even though our study is at least an order of magnitude simpler than any natural rhizosphere community, we propose that similar ecological mechanisms could predict the functioning of more complex microbiomes potentially affecting animal and human health5,8.
