A predictive understanding of the mechanisms underlying microbial biogeographical patterns is of great interest, particularly with respect to phylogenetic distributions of their ecological adaptations. Here, we test whether phylogenetic information can predict the biogeographical distributions, community assembly and species co-occurrence of soil archaea.

将系统发育生态位保守性与土壤古菌生物地理学、群落组装和物种共存联系起来

对微生物生物地理模式的潜在机制的预测性理解非常有趣，特别是在其生态适应的系统发育分布方面。在这里，我们测试系统发育信息是否可以预测土壤古细菌的生物地理分布、群落组装和物种共存。
