2017 journal article
Variation in range size and dispersal capabilities of microbial taxa
ECOLOGY, 99(2), 322–334.
Contributors: M. Choudoir* , A. Barberán *, n, R. Dunn n & N. Fierer *
author keywords: biogeography; dispersal; dust-associated microbes; geographic range size; microbial dispersal; microbiology
MeSH headings : Animals; Archaea; Bacteria / classification; Ecosystem; Plants
TL;DR:
Most microorganisms have small ranges and few have large ranges, a pattern similar to the range size distributions commonly observed for macrobes, which provides insight into the factors shaping patterns of microbial biogeography.

2016 journal article
Molecular analysis of environmental plant DNA in house dust across the United States
Aerobiologia, 33(1), 71–86.
Contributors: J. Craine *, A. Barberán *, R. Lynch *, n, R. Dunn n & N. Fierer *
author keywords: Environmental DNA; Plant allergens; Geography; Next-generation sequencing
TL;DR:
The utility of using environmental DNA sequencing to reconstruct the distributions of plant DNA inside and outside buildings is demonstrated, an approach that could prove useful for better understanding and predicting plant allergen exposures.

2016 journal article
The diversity of arthropods in homes across the United States as determined by environmental DNA analyses
Molecular Ecology, 25(24), 6214–6224.
Contributors: A. Madden n, A. Barberán *, M. Bertone n , n, R. Dunn n & N. Fierer *
author keywords: allergens; arthropod diversity; cytochrome c oxidase; DNA barcoding; insect diversity
MeSH headings : Allergens; Animals; Arthropods / classification; DNA / analysis; Dust / analysis; Food Chain; Housing; United States
TL;DR:
S Settled dust samples were collected by citizen scientists from both inside and outside more than 700 homes across the United States, yielding the first continental‐scale estimates of arthropod diversity associated with the authors' residences.

Continental-scale distributions of dust-associated bacteria and fungi
PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 112(18), 5756–5761.
Contributors: A. Barberán *, J. Ladau *, J. Leff *, K. Pollard *, n, R. Dunn n , N. Fierer *
author keywords: aerobiology; microbial ecology; microbial dispersal; urbanization; allergens
MeSH headings : Aerosols; Air Microbiology; Allergens / analysis; Animals; Atmosphere / chemistry; Bacteria / isolation & purification; Biodiversity; Cities; Dust / analysis; Environmental Monitoring / methods; Feces; Fungi / isolation & purification; Geography; Humans; Multivariate Analysis; Oceans and Seas; Seasons; Skin / microbiology; Soil Microbiology; United States; Water Microbiology; Wind
TL;DR:
It is found that airborne microbial communities, such as terrestrial plants and animals, exhibit nonrandom geographic patterns, and the factors that shape the continental-scale distributions of microbial taxa are identified, and this first atlas of airborne bacterial and fungal distributions across the continental United States is generated.

Fungi Identify the Geographic Origin of Dust Samples
PLOS ONE, 10(4), e0122605.
Contributors: N. Grantham n, B. Reich n , K. Pacifici n , E. Laber n, n, J. Henley *, A. Barberán *, J. Leff*, N. Fierer *, R. Dunn n
Ed(s): A. Rokas
MeSH headings : Archaeology; Dust; Fungi / classification; Fungi / genetics; Genetic Variation; Pollen / genetics; Pollen / microbiology
TL;DR:
A statistical learning algorithm via discriminant analysis is developed that exploits this geographic endemicity in the fungal diversity of dust samples to correctly identify samples to within a few hundred kilometers of their geographic origin with high probability.

Too big to be noticed: cryptic invasion of Asian camel crickets in North American houses
PEERJ, 2(1).
author keywords: Rhaphidophoridae; Diestrammena; Invasive species; Urban ecology; Citizen science
TL;DR:
A continental-scale citizen science campaign is launched to better understand the relative distributions and frequency of native and nonnative camel crickets in human homes across North America and reports the establishment in the northeastern United States of a second exotic species, putatively Diestrammena japanica Blatchley, which was previously undocumented in the literature.

Home Life: Factors Structuring the Bacterial Diversity Found within and between Homes
PLOS ONE, 8(5).
Contributors: R. Dunn n , N. Fierer *, J. Henley *, J. Leff * & n
MeSH headings : Bacteria / classification; Bacteria / genetics; Bacteria / isolation & purification; Biodiversity; Genes, Bacterial; High-Throughput Nucleotide Sequencing; North Carolina; Polymerase Chain Reaction; RNA, Transfer / genetics; Residence Characteristics
TL;DR:
The presence of dogs had a significant effect on bacterial community composition in multiple locations within homes as the homes occupied by dogs harbored more diverse communities and higher relative abundances of dog-associated bacterial taxa.
