Fundamentals of Microbial Community Resistance and Resilience (2012, background): “Alternatively, for functions performed by only a few taxa (for example, in situations of ecological coherence of closely related taxa, Philippot et al., 2010), the sensitivity and resilience of this function may closely follow changes in the abundance of those taxa.”
Bacterial rather than fungal community composition is associated with microbial activities and nutrient-use efficiencies in a paddy soil with short-term organic amendments (2018, background): “Microbial taxa defined at high taxonomic ranks, such as the phylum or class, can display ecological coherence of microbial groups since their responses to environmental change are predictable (Philippot et al. 2010).”
Stochastic and deterministic assembly processes in subsurface microbial communities (2012, background): “Previous work suggests that closely related bacteria have similar habitat associations (Andersson et al., 2010) and that bacteria may be ecologically coherent even at the phylum level (Fierer et al., 2007, Philippot et al., 2010).”
Using network analysis to explore co-occurrence patterns in soil microbial communities (2011, background): “Overall, these findings suggest that environmental filtering effects and niche differentiation are evident at broad taxonomic levels, as noted elsewhere (Philippot et al., 2010).”
Responses of soil bacterial and fungal communities to extreme desiccation and rewetting (2013, background): “The clear responses that we determined were apparent at phylum and class levels, showing that patterns of bacterial response to changes in water availability were conserved at high phylogenetic groupings, supporting the recent hypothesis of ecological coherence among deeply rooted bacterial groups (”
Microbial richness and composition independently drive soil multifunctionality (2017, background): “Ramirez, Craine, & Fierer, 2012); (2) The use of high bacterial taxonomic ranks (phyla and classes) has been highly recommended to predict patterns in ecosystem functioning (Philippot et al., 2010; Trivedi et al., 2013); (3) functional information has become increasingly available at this taxonomic ”
Origins of bacterial diversity through horizontal genetic transfer and adaptation to new ecological niches. (2011, background): “Second, close relatives are more likely to share the same habitat than distant relatives; even members of different families, but the same order are more likely to share habitats than more distant relatives (Philippot et al., 2010).”
The rhizosphere microbiome: significance of plant beneficial, plant pathogenic, and human pathogenic microorganisms. (2013, background): “It should be noted that these preliminary data should be interpreted with caution as the PhyloChip-based 16S rRNA gene analysis does not allow accurate classification at the species level (Philippot et al., 2010).”
Microbial control over carbon cycling in soil (2012, background): “…explain why we observe meaningful functional groups or guilds of microbes, and that they are defined primarily at high phylogenetic levels – families or phyla rather than at species or genera (Moorhead and Sinsabaugh, 2006; Fierer et al., 2007; Philippot et al., 2010; Follows and Dutkiewicz, 2011).”
Microbiomes in light of traits: A phylogenetic perspective (2015, background): “Yet, recent work indicates thatmost traits are at least somewhat conserved across Bacteria and Archaea (11, 41), as well as microbial eukaryotes like Fungi (42).”
Vineyard soil bacterial diversity and composition revealed by 16S rRNA genes: Differentiation by vineyard management (2016, background): “This coarse level was selected based on the conclusions of Philippot et al. (2010), which suggested high levels of bacterial taxonomy are ecologically coherent and each different level of taxonomy may offer a different piece of information on the underlying mechanisms driving establishment of…”
Comparative metagenomic, phylogenetic and physiological analyses of soil microbial communities across nitrogen gradients (2011, result): “Our data are consistent with observations that major bacterial groups show coherent ecological and genomic characteristics (Philippot et al., 2010), and the often strong agreement between 16S rRNA distance and gene content conservation (Konstantinidis and Tiedje, 2005) or similarity in functional…”
