Microbial communities are considered to be functionally redundant, but few studies have tested this hypothesis empirically. In this study, we performed an in situ reciprocal transplant experiment on the surface and bottom waters of two lakes with disparate trophic states and tracked changes in their microbial community and functional attributes for 6 weeks using high-throughput sequencing and functional approaches. The communities from both lakes were resistant to changes in composition after the reciprocal transplant, but their functions tended to become similar to the incubating lakes functional profiles. A significant linear positive relationship was observed between the microbial community and functional attributes, though with varying scales of similarity, suggesting partial functional redundancy. Furthermore, the entropy-based L-divergence measure quantified the scale of partial functional redundancy in the lakes surface and bottom waters. This study establishes and quantifies the scale of partial functional redundancy in the freshwater ecosystem through empirical investigation.

Abstract The multiscale nature of habitat selection during the breeding season for migratory birds means that core-use areas (e.g., breeding territories) are selected based on their local habitat features, but these may also be influenced in some way by features within a larger-scale landscape. We conducted a reciprocal transplant experiment to test the hypothesis that habitat selection and movements of male American Woodcock (Scolopax minor) in core-use areas during the breeding season depend on the perceived quality of the surrounding landscape. We captured second-year male woodcocks (n = 19) at high- or low-likelihood of use landscapes in Rhode Island, USA, affixed each with a radio transmitter, relocated them to the opposite type of landscape, and then determined if they returned to their original site of capture or remained in the landscape to which they were relocated. Birds captured in high-likelihood landscapes and moved to low-likelihood landscapes generally returned to their original high-likelihood landscape (5/7, 71%), but birds captured in low-likelihood landscapes and moved to high-likelihood landscapes rarely returned to their original low-likelihood landscape (1/12, 8%). These results support the hypothesis that woodcock assess their surroundings relatively rapidly and subsequently make critical settlement decisions based on landscape composition. Given that woodcock choice is predicted by the woodcock-specific resource selection function, these results also provide support for the use of this tool to guide forest management for woodcock.
