Use of synthetic communities to study microbial ecology of the gut
Microbiome Research Reports, 2022 The application of in vitro synthetic microbial communities is an excellent approach to model the ecological interactions between microbes in the human gastrointestinal tract. Although DNA-based studies have provided a wealth of information, they do not consider the ecological properties of the human gut microbiota.

Ecological demography: A synthetic focus in evolutionary anthropology [PDF]
Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, 1993 AbstractThe interests of evolutionary anthropologists, behavioral ecologists, and demographers converge on the ecology of human fertility. Ecological conditions influence the optimum pattern of maternal effort. Patterns of abortion, neglect, and infanticide vary with mothers' ability to invest in their children and children's ability to use that ...
