Modulation of microbial community dynamics by spatial partitioning.
Journal Article Nature chemical biology · April 2022 Microbial communities inhabit spatial architectures that divide a global environment into isolated or semi-isolated local environments, which leads to the partitioning of a microbial community into a collection of local communities. Despite its ubiquity an ... Full text Open Access CiteDisturbances Can Promote and Hinder Coexistence of Competitors in Ongoing Partner Choice Mutualisms.
Journal Article The American naturalist · March 2020 Featured Publication Ecosystems are under threat from anthropogenic and natural disturbances, yet little is known about how these disturbances alter mutualistic interactions. Many mutualistic interactions are highly context dependent and dynamic due to "ongoing" partner choice ...
