Competitive interactions between culturable bacteria are highly non-additive
eLife, 2023 Microorganisms are found in diverse communities whose structure and function are determined by interspecific interactions. Just as single species seldom exist in isolation, communities as a whole are also constantly challenged and affected by external ...

Cross-Feeding of a Toxic Metabolite in a Synthetic Lignocellulose-Degrading Microbial Community
Microorganisms, 2021 The recalcitrance of complex organic polymers such as lignocellulose is one of the major obstacles to sustainable energy production from plant biomass, and the generation of toxic intermediates can negatively impact the efficiency of microbial ...

An Interdisciplinary and Synthetic Approach to Ecological Boundaries [PDF]
BioScience, 2003 We introduce a collection of articles that proposes conceptual and methodological tools to advance the integrated study of ecological boundaries. A number of studies are germane to understanding the structure and function of boundaries over a wide array of ecological systems and scales.

Population Dynamics on Complex Food Webs [PDF]
, 2011 In this work we analyse the topological and dynamical properties of a simple model of complex food webs, namely the niche model. In order to underline competition among species, we introduce "prey" and "predators" weighted overlap graphs derived from the

Epigenetic consequences of interploidal hybridisation in synthetic and natural interspecific potato hybrids [PDF]
, 2019 Interploidal hybridisation can generate changes in plant chromosome numbers, which might exert effects additional to the expected due to genome merger per se (i.e., genetic, epigenetic and phenotypic novelties).Wild potatoes are suitable to address this ...

Population–reaction model and microbial experimental ecosystems for understanding hierarchical dynamics of ecosystems [PDF]
, 2016 Understanding ecosystem dynamics is crucial as contemporary human societies face ecosystem degradation. One of the challenges that needs to be recognized is the complex hierarchical dynamics.
