AbstractThe metacommunity framework provides a theoretical framework for understanding how dispersal alters species distribution patterns at different spatial scales. Dormancy is a strategy that decreases the extinction risk and can be viewed as dispersal over time, shaping the assembly dynamics of populations and communities. However, dormancy has only recently been recognized as a potentially important mediator of metacommunity-level processes.

AbstractSpecies co occurrence can lead to competitive interactions that influence fitness. Competition is typically assumed to be modulated by species niche, especially food acquisition related traits. The influence of interspecific interactions on host microbiome communities has rarely been considered, and yet may provide an alternative mechanism regarding the effect of host species co occurrence on their fitness.

1 INTRODUCTION Given the multitude of challenges Earth is facing, sustainability science is of key importance to our continued existence. Sustainability science studies the interactions between natural and social systems, and how those interactions affect the challenge of sustainability: meeting the needs of present and future generations while substantially increasing human well-being and conserving the planet's life support systems (Clark & Dickson, 2003).
