Composition operators and Dirichlet series are central topics within functional analysis that bridge operator theory, analytic number theory and complex analysis. At their core, composition operators ...

The extent to which non-host-associated bacterial communities exhibit small-scale biogeographic patterns in their distribution remains unclear. Our investigation of biogeography in bacterial community ...

Saprotrophic microbial communities in soil are primarily structured by the availability of growth-limiting resources (i.e., plant detritus), a bottom-up ecological force. However, foraging by native ...
