Predator-driven local convergence fosters global microbial community divergence

2025-08-20

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the rules that govern microbial community assembly is essential for predicting ecosystem function. While microbial predators are key biotic agents that shape bacterial communities through predation, yet their ecological consequences have been studied mostly in isolated and in vitro systems 1–3 . In contrast, large-scale studies of microbial diversity have primarily emphasized abiotic factors as dri...
