Microbial community profiling for human microbiome projects: Tools, techniques, and challenges. (2009, background): “However, meta-analysis of presence/absence data from different studies is extremely useful for revealing broad trends, even when different studies use different primers (Lozupone and Knight 2007; Ley et al. 2008b).”
Microbes as Engines of Ecosystem Function: When Does Community Structure Enhance Predictions of Ecosystem Processes? (2016, background): “Research has demonstrated global patterns in microbial communities that correlate with environmental factors such as salinity (Lozupone and Knight, 2007; Auguet et al., 2010), pH (Lauber et al., 2009), and habitat type (Dinsdale et al., 2008; Nemergut et al., 2011; Fierer et al., 2012), and links…”
Pyrosequencing-Based Assessment of Soil pH as a Predictor of Soil Bacterial Community Structure at the Continental Scale (2009, background): “Although we focus here on the variability in bacterial communities across a range of soil habitats, it is important to recognize that soils are more similar to one another than to other microbial habitats (34), as all of the soils were largely composed of the same five bacterial groups and the TABLE”
Searching for unifying principles in soil ecology (2009, background): “…few bacterial phyla (Janssen, 2006); the relative abundances of these taxa are not necessarily constant, but soil bacterial communities are relatively similar to one another if we compare soil bacterial communities to those communities found in other microbial habitats (Lozupone and Knight, 2007).”
Similar community assembly mechanisms underlie similar biogeography of rare and abundant bacteria in lakes on Yungui Plateau, China (2017, background): “As the common significant factors for both groups, salinity, DO and TN have been frequently demonstrated to be important stressor on bacterial composition (Lozupone and Knight 2007; Liu et al. 2011; Kim et al. 2013).”
Early life on land and the first terrestrial ecosystems (2013, background): “Estimates of the genetic diversity and biomass distribution in drastically different environments (e.g., Garcia-Pichel et al. 2003; Lozupone and Knight 2007; Nemergut et al. 2011) depict the ample range of strategies Figure 1 Suggested chronology of geological, atmospheric, and biological events…”

Global patterns of 16S rRNA diversity at a depth of millions of sequences per sample (2010, background): “the question of whether this technology is suitable for large-scale comparisons among microbial communities at different scales by determiningwhether Illumina sequencing can recover the previous observation of an intriguing global pattern of bacterial distribution, with a partitioning of environment”
Strong elevational trends in soil bacterial community composition on Mt. Halla, South Korea (2014, background): “Encouraging progress has been made recently on the horizontal distribution of microbial communities (Chu et al., 2010; Griffiths et al., 2011; Lauber et al., 2009; Lozupone and Knight, 2007; Nemergut et al., 2011; Rousk et al., 2010), but few studies have investigated elevational trends in microbial”
A latitudinal diversity gradient in planktonic marine bacteria (2008, background): “We also note that a recent all-habitat metaanalysis reported salinity as the most important variable influencing bacterial community composition (26), but those authors compared terrestrial and aquatic environments ranging from essentially salt-free to hypersaline, a huge range of habitat types incl”
A DNA-Based Registry for All Animal Species: The Barcode Index Number (BIN) System (2013, methodology): “Automated DNA-based approaches for OTU designation first saw application in ‘taxonomy-free’ groups such as bacteria [5,6] and fungi [7,8], but they have also proven useful for probing biodiversity patterns in animal lineages where morphology-based taxonomy is difficult [9,10].”
