Resource supply is generally considered a dominant driver of microbial diversity. Here, using a four-species bacterial consortium, we asked whether...

Analysis of nearly 200 human gut microbiome datasets shows that microbial coexistence is governed by a few effective ecological dimensions, rather than the high-dimensional niches assumed by prevailing theory.

Heterotrophic bacteria utilize organic carbon as a source of energy and material for growth. The balanced allocation of carbon between these two processes, termed growth efficiency, is a key physiolog...

Microbial communities are largely driven by metabolic interactions, whereby species compete for shared resources and exchange byproducts. Such interactions are commonly classified by their sign alone....

Microbes release a wide range of metabolites into their environment, yet the reasons for this release and the factors that influence release rates are not well understood. Here, using a combination of...

Spatial metapopulation models are fundamental to theoretical ecology, enabling us to study how landscape structure influences global species dynamics. Traditional models, including recent generalizati...

Metapopulation models have been instrumental in quantifying the ecological impact of landscape structure on the survival of a focal species. Howeve...

Ecological interactions are central to our understanding of the composition and function of communities, but attempts to use them as a theoretical foundation for experimental ecology have been confou....
