Abstract: Abstract In glacier forefields, the chronosequence approach is used to investigate ecological, biogeochemical and physical features of autogenic successional change as a function of time. Chronosequences rely on the central assumptions that all sites were… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-64367-9
Abstract: Apomixis, the asexual reproduction through seeds, is thought to provide reproductive assurance when ploidy is not even and/or when population density is low. Therefore, apomicts are expected to be more abundant, and the frequency of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/femsec/fiab135
Abstract: ABSTRACT Community assembly is a result of dispersal, abiotic and biotic characteristics of the habitat as well as stochasticity. A direct comparison between the assembly of microbial and ‘macrobial’ organisms is hampered by the sampling… read more here.
