The human microbial ecosystem plays a diversity of roles in human health and disease. Each individual can be viewed as an island-like “patch” of habitat occupied by microbial assemblages formed by the fundamental processes of community ecology, i.e., dispersal, local diversification, environmental selection, and ecological drift. In this review, we consider how community assembly theory, and as an example, metacommunity theory, could be used to help explain the dynamics of the human microbiome, and in particular, compositional variability within and between hosts. We explore three core scenarios of human microbiome assembly: development in infants, representing assembly in previously unoccupied habitat; recovery from antibiotics, representing assembly after disturbance; and invasion by pathogens, representing assembly in the context of invasive species. Judicious application of ecological theory may lead to improved strategies for maintaining and restoring the microbiota, and the crucial health-associated ecosystem services that it provides.
