Although the advent of sequencing technologies has fostered our understandingof the mechanisms and factors shaping bacterial assemblages, there are still limitations among microbial studies that limit our ca-pacity to fully understand how communities function: For example, whereas biogeochemical research has long recognized thecycling and exchange of elements between all earth components, the movement of microbes across different habitats or local com-munities has been largely neglected, and still most microbial biogeographic research is ecosystem-specific. During the past years,the studies that have considered this potential connectivity between microbial communities have unveiled a major role of dispersalin shaping fresh- and marine bacterial assemblages, as well as an astonishing capacity of microbes to persist out of their suitableniches: For example, boreal lakes and rivers have been shown to be strongly influenced by the transport of soil taxa from the sur-rounding terrestrial landscape, and deep ocean communities seem largely structured by the sinking of surface microbes attachedto particles. Such dispersal processes can shape the so-called ‘rare bacterial biosphere’ of aquatic communities and can ultimatelyobscure the links between taxonomy and function by explaining the presence of a large diversity fraction that is not adapted to localconditions. All this highlights the need to move microbial ecology studies towards a more comprehensive view where potential dis-persal pathways and linkages between ecosystems are considered Peer Reviewed 2019-10-07T11:22:29Z 2019-10-07T11:22:29Z 2019-02-07 2019-10-07T11:22:30Z comunicación de congreso http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_5794 1st Iberian Ecological Society Meeting (2019) XIV Congreso Nacional de la Asociación Española de Ecología Terrestre (2019) http://hdl.handle.net/10261/192247 Sí none Sociedad Ibérica de Ecología
