Dispersal is a fundamental community assembly process that maintains soil microbial
biodiversity across spatial and temporal scales, yet the impact of dispersal on ecosystem function …

We show that Streptomyces biogeography in soils across North America is influenced by
the regional diversification of microorganisms due to dispersal limitation and genetic drift. …

Geographic range size can span orders of magnitude for plant and animal species, with the
study of why range sizes vary having preoccupied biogeographers for decades. In contrast, …

Botulism due to type F botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT/F) is rare (<1% of cases), and only a
limited number of clostridial strains producing this toxin type have been isolated. As a result, …

We have identified Streptomyces sister-taxa which share a recent common ancestor and
nearly identical small subunit (SSU) rRNA gene sequences, but inhabit distinct geographic …

Numerous disease-resistance genes have been cloned and characterized in various plant
species. Only a few of these reported genes were transcriptionally induced or had enhanced …

Latitude delineates patterns of biogeography in terrestrial Streptomyces - Choudoir - 2016 - …
Each of these factors has been discussed previously (Hanson et al., 2012; Choudoir et al., …

… We would like to thank Mary Jo Choudoir and Dunroven Farm for providing soil samples
from northern Wisconsin. This material is based upon work supported by the National Science …

Historical changes in population size, such as those caused by demographic range expansions,
can produce nonadaptive changes in genomic diversity through mechanisms such as …

Streptomyces species produce many important antibiotics and have a crucial role in soil
nutrient cycling. However, their evolutionary history remains poorly characterized. We have …
