Microbial macroecology: highly structured prokaryotic soil assemblages in a tropical deciduous forest (2005, background): “Available information seems to show that not all prokaryotes are cosmopolitan, and that at least some species do not show traits 1 and 2 of the syndrome of ubiquity (Massana et al ., 2000; Curtis et al ., 2002; Nunan et al ., 2002; Torsvik et al ., 2002; Fenchel, 2003; Whitaker et al ., 2003).”
Accelerated biodegradation of pesticides: An overview of the phenomenon, its basis and possible solutions; and a discussion on the tropical dimension (2007, background): “Hence, it remains possible that the genetic differences which were found among bacteria from distinct geographical zones reflect neutral or nearly neutral mutations (Fenchel, 2003).”
Microbial Biogeography: Patterns in Microbial Diversity across Space and Time (2008, unknown): “…on the assumption that the high local abundance of microbes (the large number of individuals per unit area) increases the probability that individual microbes may travel a long distance and successfully colonize a remote location simply by chance (Fenchel, 2003; Finlay, 2002; Martiny et al., 2006).”
Global phylogenetic community structure and β-diversity patterns in surface bacterioplankton metacommunities (2010, background): “…consent of the publisher Aquat Microb Ecol 59: 1–10, 2010 organisms, i.e. on the one hand, high dispersal rates due to large population sizes and short generation times (Fenchel 2003) and, on the other hand, environmental determinism in agreement with classical niche-assembly theories.”
Diversity and Distribution of Methanotrophic Archaea at Cold Seeps (2005, background): “Hence, the rest of the ocean represents a barrier to the dispersal of these organisms, making them an interesting case study for the central question of microbial biogeography, which is “Is everything everywhere?” (3, 5, 15, 71).”
The ecology of the phyllosphere: geographic and phylogenetic variability in the distribution of bacteria on tree leaves (2010, unknown): “This supports the speculation (Finlay, 2002; Fenchel, 2003) that dispersal constraints may often be less important in structuring the biogeography of microbial communities than the biogeography of most plant and animal communities.”
An introduction to the biogeography of aquatic microbes (2005, background): “…are not reviewed herein: readers interested in these topics are referred to reviews and reports on microbes from extreme environments (Fenchel 2003, Staley & Gosnik 1999, Whitaker et al. 2003, Papke & Ward 2004) and recent reports on symbiotic bacteria (e.g. Bright & Giero 2005,…”
Biogeography of Bacterioplankton in Inland Waters (2008, unknown): “spores or cysts) lessen the importance of geographical barriers and increase the likelihood of live dispersal (Roszak & Colwell, 1987; Fenchel et al. 1997; Finlay & Clarke, 1999; Fenchel, 2003; Fenchel & Finlay, 2004).”
Soil bacterial diversity in the Arctic is not fundamentally different from that found in other biomes. (2010, background): “…Becking, 1934) has been supported by a range of studies indicating that microbial dispersal can be global (Finlay and Clarke, 1999; Finlay, 2002; Fenchel, 2003; Hubert et al., 2009), and that microbial community composition is strongly influenced by contemporary sitespecific environmental…”
'Everything is everywhere, but, the environment selects'; what did Baas Becking and Beijerinck really say? (2006, methodology): “…starting point for studies of prokaryotic and protist biodiversity and their biogeographical patterns (Garcia-Pichel et al ., 1996; Zwart et al ., 1998; Staley and Gosink, 1999; Cho and Tiedje, 2000; Fenchel, 2003; Finlay and Fenchel, 2004; Lage et al ., 2004; Richard et al ., 2005).”
