An ecological modeling framework The classical generalized Lotka−Volterra (GLV) model has been used in several ecological modeling works of host-associated microbial communities65,66,67. In this work, we also use it to simulate the FMT process (see “Methods”). In particular, we model the gut microbiota of different hosts as different local communities assembled from a global species […] More
Data We decided to build our own dataset instead of using existing datasets (e.g. Fish4Knowledge: https://groups.inf.ed.ac.uk/f4k/), to be in phase with quality of videos currently used by marine ecologists. We used 3 independent fish images datasets from the Mayotte Island (Western Indian Ocean) to train and test our CNN model and our post processing method. […] More

Study area This study was conducted on the Tibetan Plateau, the largest alpine permafrost region around the world, with an area of ~1.35 × 106 km2 and a mean elevation over 4000 m22,23. Climate on this plateau is cold and dry22. The MAAT ranges between −4.1 and 7.4 °C, and the MAP varies from dozens of mm in the northwest […] More
Soil characteristics The physiochemical parameters of the paddy soil during the different rice growth stages are shown in Fig. 1. The pH value increased in the 1% RSBC, 1% SMBC, 5% RSBC and 5% SMBC-supplemented soils in that order compared to the control samples. Thus, SMBC had a greater alkalization effect than RSBC at both application […] More
