Shaping Function Through Space: The Role of Spatial Organization in Microbial Communities
… precision and scalability. First, we examine the colonization of chitin particles by marine bacteria, a model for particulate organic matter degradation. Using high-throughput phenotyping of natural isolates, we show that vitamin cross-feeding is essential for successful colonization of …

Spatial and temporal dynamics of plants colonizing species-poor hedgerows
… seed sources, and evaluates immigration, colonization and establishment processes that occur at this interface. Transects were used to sample plant species distributions across the transition between remnant ancient woodland communities and adjoining Enclosure Act hedgerows in …

Assessing hemlock woolly adelgid induced decline and susceptibility using hyperspectral technologies
… hemlock species, foliar chemistry vs. colonization success and regional foliar chemistry vs. HWA population levels. We found that HWA resistant hemlock species demonstrated higher concentrations of Ca and P, and lower concentrations of N and K. Regardless of host species, successful …

Temporal trends in stream-fish distributions, and species traits as invasiveness drivers in New River (USA) tributaries
… the contribution of species traits to invasion success of UMNR tributary fishes during the colonization and spread stages. Biological traits accurately explained colonization and spread success, whereas ecological traits resulted in less accurate models. Colonization success was positively …

The eco-evolutionary consequences of multiple introductions for colonizing individuals
Predicting the fate of individuals colonizing novel habitats is an elusive but critical goal in fields as diverse as invasion biology, biological control, climate change-induced species range shifts, and reintroductions of rare species. Propagule pressure, which comprises the number of introduction …
