  • Modeling taxa-abundance distributions in microbial communities using environmental sequence data 
    Sloan William; Woodcock Stephen; Lunn Mary; Head Ian; Curtis Thomas (Springer, 2007)
    We show that inferring the taxa-abundance distribution of a microbial community from small environmental samples alone is difficult. The difficulty stems from the disparity in scale between the number of genetic sequences ...
  • Neutral assembly of bacterial communities 
    Woodcock Stephen; Van Der Gast Christopher; Bell Thomas; Lunn Mary; Curtis Thomas; Head Ian; Sloan William (Wiley-Blackwell, 2007)
    Two recent, independent advances in ecology have generated interest and controversy: the development of neutral community models (NCMs) and the extension of biogeographical relationships into the microbial world. Here these ...
  • Quantifying the roles of immigration and chance in shaping prokaryote community structure 
    Sloan William; Lunn Mary; Woodcock Stephen; Head Ian; Nee Sean; Curtis Thomas (Wiley, 2006)
    Naturally occurring populations of bacteria and archaea are vital to life on the earth and are of enormous practical significance in medicine, engineering and agriculture. However, the rules governing the formation of such ...
  • Taxa-area relationships for microbes: the unsampled and the unseen 
    Woodcock Stephen; Curtis Thomas; Head Ian; Sloan William; Lunn Mary (Wiley-Blackwell, 2006)
    The recent observation of a power¿law relationship, S ? Az, between number of taxa, S, and area, A, for microbial eukaryotes and bacteria suggests that this is one of the few generic relationships in ecology, applicable ...
  • What is the extent of prokaryotic diversity? 
    Curtis Thomas; Head Ian; Lunn Mary; Woodcock Stephen; Schloss Patrick; Sloan William (Royal Society Publishing, 2006)
    The extent of microbial diversity is an intrinsically fascinating subject of profound practical importance. The term `diversity¿ may allude to the number of taxa or species richness as well as their relative abundance. ...
