Assembly of seed-associated microbial communities within and across successive plant generations (2017, methodology): “To further evaluate variation in community membership and composition of the radish seed microbiota, we counted the number of OTUs that were conserved among all individual plants (core microbiota, Shade and Handelsman 2012).”
Fundamentals of Microbial Community Resistance and Resilience (2012, background): “Networks can also be used to discover “core” community members shared across communities from similar habitats (Shade and Handelsman, 2012), serving as a method to identify taxa shared across localities within a larger metacommunity.”
Protist diversity along a salinity gradient in a coastal lagoon (2015, background): “In spite of the wide variability in taxonomic composition, the occurrence of 15 phylotypes in most of the samples (Table 4) suggests the presence of temporally and spatially persistent phylogenetic lineages (Shade & Handelsman 2012) in the Coorong Lagoon.”
Microbiome definition re-visited: old concepts and new challenges (2020, background): “A first suggestion was provided by Shade and Handelsman [105], who defined a core microbiome as the suite of members shared among microbial consortia from similar habitats to identify the stable, consistent components across complex microbial assemblages.”
Marine Animal Microbiomes: Toward Understanding Host–Microbiome Interactions in a Changing Ocean (2017, background): “Currently, the science is heavily focused on identifying consistent or “core” microbial members of the microbiome (Shade and Handelsman, 2012).”
The microbial ecology of flowers: an emerging frontier in phyllosphere research1 (2014, background): “Understanding the baseline variability, primary succession, and typical seasonal changes of microbial communities is important for identifying the core microbiota of flowers (Shade and Handelsman 2012) and for detecting and quantifying the responses of this core to disturbances (e.”
