Positive sampling effects are generated by the increasing chance to include a highly productive species that dominates the community at higher diversity.
In early growth stage samples, L. rubarum dominates the community, and its repressors of antibiotic resistance genes are abundant.
Seep endemics dominated the communities of younger aggregations, but non-endemic species dominated communities of older aggregations.
Yet despite their high fitness potential, strangler trees neither dominate the communities in which they occur nor is the strategy particularly common outside of figs (genus Ficus).
Either Spartobacteria (up to 19%) or Opitutus spp. (up to 7%) dominated the communities, whereas Prosthecobacter spp. were omnipresent in low numbers (<1%).
On the bare basalt, copepods dominated the communities in abundance in 2 samples (63% and 92%), while foraminiferans were dominant in one sample (72%), and no taxon dominance was found in another sample (Table 2).
Surprisingly, even in Mtwara where matrilineal communities constitute the majority, one still finds that patriarchal relations dominate the communities' social and political life.
Thus, high resource specialists will experience a fitness benefit only for a short period of time and after a while species specialized in the use of low resource concentrations, such as N. capsulatum in our experiment, will dominate the communities.
In the long-term microcosm experiment, N. capsulatum dominated the community without predation and, with predation, B. cereus was the dominant species in the intermediate and high resource environments.
For approximately 15 years after the Resurrection, the figure of Peter dominated the community.
