From above to below: how large herbivores affect forests soils

This blog post is provided by Letícia Gonçalves Ribeiro and tells the #StoryBehindThePaper for the article “Belowground effects of ground-dwelling large herbivores in forest ecosystems“, which was recently published in Journal of Animal Ecology. This study reviewed the ways that various types of herbivores affect forest soils in different contexts. A famous quote is “Seeing is believing”, but when we spot a deer or a … Continue reading From above to below: how large herbivores affect forests soils

Untangling community dynamics using spatially explicit Bayesian networks

In this article, Nick Fountain-Jones from the University of Tasmania introduces how advances in Bayesian networks can be used to untangle community dynamics and, in particular, the moose microbiome by telling us the #StoryBehindThePaper. Microbial communities are inherently complex systems with potentially hundreds of millions of interacting species. Every surface of the body is occupied by a diverse set of microbes; interactions between them, mediated … Continue reading Untangling community dynamics using spatially explicit Bayesian networks
