Sentence examples for the community assembly from inspiring English sources

Disentangling the drivers of each component allows a refined evaluation of the community assembly mechanisms that generate regional diversity patterns.

Phylogenetic analyses were performed to answer whether the community assembly in both the native forest and derived rubber plantations is influenced by deterministic or neutral processes (stochastic).

Finally, I present results from ongoing work on the community assembly of freshwater fishes across the US and their implications for species responses to environmental change.

In landscape-scale studies focusing solely within cities, variables such as impervious surface area and greenspace connectivity affect the community assembly of natural enemies within a patch.

A biological trait analysis indicated that semi-mobile taxa with annual protracted direct development, and short-distance dispersal are probably of higher importance for the community assembly process in this environment than long-distance larval dispersal.

Even though the oviposition choice in another Chironomus species is influenced by nitrogenous compounds and conspecific larvae [31], a high degree of randomness regarding environmental conditions is generally assumed in the community assembly of chironomids [27].

The role that Symbiodinium background diversity plays in the robustness of the host symbiont community assembly is a fundamental, but yet unresolved question.

A comparison of steady-state microbial community compositions before and after temperature disturbance showed that the temperature disturbance played an important role in the microbial community assembly and ecosystem function during the anaerobic digestion of cattle manure.

In particular, even in the absence of trait data, a phylogenetic approach could provide insight into the forest community assembly of local habitats (e.g. Kembel and Hubbell 2006; Swenson and Enquist 2009; Kraft and Ackerly 2010; Duarte 2011, Pei et al. 2011).

Accordingly, we agree with general arguments that disturbances increase the chance of immigration by species with various niches from the regional species pool (Sousa 1984; Myers and Harms 2011), and stochastic immigration history could obscure the explicit community assembly rules (Chase 2010).

We suggest that the most direct route to understanding the mechanisms underlying community assembly is through the study of functional trait variation in the host and its fungal consortium.
