Primes¶
- First Mover Advantage
- In evolutionary biology and ecology, priority effects in community assembly mean the species that arrives first at a habitat patch can monopolize resources or alter the abiotic environment so as to exclude later arrivals; arrival order, not species identity alone, determines the community endpoint.
This sourceReviews priority effects via niche preemption and niche modification: early-arriving species monopolize resources or modify the environment to exclude later, even fitter, arrivals, so arrival order shapes the community endpoint.

Fukami reports that "The order and timing of species immigration during community assembly can affect species abundances at multiple spatial scales", effects known as priority effects that make community structure historically contingent and can produce "alternative stable states". Their mechanisms fall into "niche preemption and niche modification", operating when local dynamics are rapid enough for early arrivals to preempt or modify niches first. That arrival-order dependence is what the sentence describes. The work does not quantify exclusion of later arrivals or name alteration of the abiotic environment as such.
“The order and timing of species immigration during community assembly can affect species abundances at multiple spatial scales. Known as priority effects, these effects cause historical contingency in the structure and function of communities, resulting in alternative stable states, alternative transient states, or compositional cycles. The mechanisms of priority effects fall into two categories, niche preemption …”

- Founder Effect
- In microbiomes and ecological communities, the first colonizers of a freshly available substrate heavily bias which later colonizers succeed.
This sourceReviews priority effects by which early colonizers of a fresh substrate bias which later species and microbes can establish.

Fukami's abstract backs the priority-effect principle — the order and timing of species immigration biases which species establish — but names neither microbiomes nor the strength word 'heavily'.
“The order and timing of species immigration during community assembly can affect species abundances at multiple spatial scales. Known as priority effects, these effects cause historical contingency in the structure and function of communities, resulting in alternative stable states, alternative transient states, or compositional cycles.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 2 of 2 citations: 2 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
