Thrilled to see this article out! 🎉 It's a roadmap for starting microbial ecologists with key concepts in community ecology, their history and application to microbiomes #NicheTheory #TrophicLevels #KeystoneSpecies #Succession #Metacommunities 🤩 What I wish I'd had when I got into microbial ecology
Delighted to see this out in its final form! doi.org/10.1093/isme...
We established a discussion group focussed on the history of community ecology and how it informs our understanding of microbiota. This review distils those discussions to provide a guide for microbiologists entering the field
