Huber 1600) remained nearly the same, however the relative abundance of species, families, and functions changed during each successional stage. Syntrophic bacteria peaked in abundance during the mid-succession, high methane stage. Succession of overall KEGG functions was highly similar although species and carbohydrate functions diverged during late succession, suggesting diversity of niche partitioning during degradation of recalcitrant organic matter. We estimated the relative contributions of stochastic and deterministic processes and found a shift in the balance during succession. Early succession was not dominated by either dispersal or selection while late succession was dominated by variable selection. In conclusion, methane production recovered following severe (non-lethal) disturbance in a pre-adapted digester microbiome through a reproducible community assembly pathway that shifted toward deterministic, variable selection over time.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frmbi.2025.1676639 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frmbi.2025.1676639 <![CDATA[Multilevel selection theory informs context-dependent mycorrhizal functioning]]> 2026-01-05T00:00:00Z Perspective Anne M.
