The paper introduces qiMPD, a framework for analyzing phylogenetic community structure with tunable scale and abundance weighting, showing its impact on local and broad-scale patterns in wastewater microbiomes.

This study tracks microbial community succession and inter-kingdom interactions during granular biofilm development in a sequencing batch reactor over 343 days.

This study shows that deterministic and stochastic processes influence microbial community assembly during aerobic granulation, with deterministic factors dominating abundant taxa and stochastic factors affecting rare taxa without impacting treatment performance.
