In a recent paper by Ma (1), results of a modified multisite neutral model analysis of community assembly inform a provocative claim that stochasticity correlates with a phylogenetic timeline. Two related results are that humans exhibit complete stochastic neutrality in microbial community assembly and that these results are of significance in understanding assembly processes. Consequently, Ma says: “[I]f the stochastic (random) forces are indeed significant in maintaining microbiome structures, the design of human interventions to maintain or restore microbiome structures … cannot ignore this important, innate aspect of the animal/human microbiomes.”

社区集会中的随机性和随机性：真实还是假设？

在 Ma (1) 最近的一篇论文中，群落组装的修正多点中性模型分析的结果表明随机性与系统发育时间线相关的挑衅性主张。两个相关结果是人类在微生物群落组装中表现出完全随机中性，并且这些结果对于理解组装过程具有重要意义。因此，马说：“[I]如果随机（随机）力在维持微生物组结构方面确实很重要，那么设计人类干预以维持或恢复微生物组结构……不能忽视动物/人类微生物组的这一重要的、先天的方面。 ”
