Here we present a survey of the fungal microbiota in 16 fecal samples from healthy humans with a vegetarian diet. Fungal taxa were identified using molecular cloning and 454/Roche amplicon pyrosequenc
1. Describing the patterns and revealing the underlying mechanisms responsible for variations in community structure remains a central focus in ecology. However, important gaps remain, including our u
Using Illumina sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) region of fungal rRNA genes, we comprehensively characterized the composition and diversity of the gut mycobiota of the Caprinae i
Aim Seasonal variation in community composition and species distributional ranges along elevational gradients remain poorly known but are essential to inform conservation. In this study, we aim to un
Understanding the relative contribution of different biotic interactions in shaping species assemblages constitutes a major goal in community ecology and consequently, multiple methods aimed at inferr
