Abstract excerpt
Freshwater biofilms assemble from a pool of rare water column genotypes. Random density fluctuations and temporal species turnover of functionally equivalent potential colonizers result in compositional variability of newly formed biofilm communities. We hypothesized that stronger environmental filtering as induced by enhanced substrate levels might reduce the impact of a locally variable pool of colonizers and...
