    Contributions of Composition and Interactions to Bacterial Respiration Are Reliant on the Phylogenetic Similarity of the Measured Community

    Bacterial diversity underpins many ecosystem functions; however, the impact of within-species variation on the relationship between diversity and function remains unclear. Processes involving strain differenti...

    Determining the Effects of a Spatially Heterogeneous Selection Pressure on Bacterial Population Structure at the Sub-millimetre Scale

    A key interest of microbial ecology is to understand the role of environmental heterogeneity in sha** bacterial diversity and fitness. However, quantifying relevant selection pressures and their effects is c...
