Tropical mountains are global biodiversity hotspots, owing to a combination of high local species richness and turnover in species composition. Typically, the highest local richness and turnover levels are implicitly assumed to converge in the same mountain regions, resulting in extraordinary species ric...
In these new habitats, terrestrial vertebrates, insects, and plants evolved, eventually building the unprecedented number of species living today. As reviewed by Raven (2020B), the Cenozoic Era has been a period of drying and, in general, cooling. Grasslands, as well as ecosystems dominated by...
Aim Symbiotic interactions between roots and mycorrhiza drive plant coexistence, yet the roles of the common mycorrhizal network (CMNs) between plant species remain poorly understood. Methods We conducted a compartmented microcosm experiment to assess AMF effects on the coexistence of mixed legumes (Medic...
024 (26%) were predicted to be secreted, constituting the Secrebiome of the gut microbiome. The 16S profiling confirmed an increased abundance in Firmicutes and decreased in Bacteroidetes in the obesity groups, and a significantly higher richness and diversity than the normal weight group. We found...
