EFFECTS OF SPATIAL VARIABILITY AND RELIC DNA REMOVAL ON THE DETECTION OF TEMPORAL DYNAMICS IN SOIL MICROBIAL COMMUNITIES

Effects of Spatial Variability and Relic DNA Removal on the Detection of Temporal Dynamics in Soil Microbial Communities

ABSTRACT Few studies have comprehensively investigated the temporal variability in soil microbial communities despite widespread recognition that the belowground environment is dynamic.In part, this stems from the challenges associated with the high degree of spatial heterogeneity in soil microbial communities and because the presence of relic DNA

Separate neural subsystems support goal-directed speech listening

How do humans excel at tracking the narrative of a particular speaker with a distracting noisy background? This feat places great demands on the collaboration between speech processing and goal-related regulatory functions.Here, we propose that separate subsystems with different cross-task dynamic activity properties and distinct functional purpose
