Inferring interactions in complex microbial communities from nucleotide sequence data and environmental parameters
Interactions occur between two or more organisms affecting each other. Interactions are decisive for the ecology of the organisms. Without direct experimental evidence the analysis of interactions is difficult. Correlation analyses that are based on co-occurrences are often used to approximate interaction. Here, we present a new mathematical model to estimate the interaction strengths between t...
متن کاملInferring neutral biodiversity parameters using environmental DNA data sets
The DNA present in the environment is a unique and increasingly exploited source of information for conducting fast and standardized biodiversity assessments for any type of organisms. The datasets resulting from these surveys are however rarely compared to the quantitative predictions of biodiversity models. In this study, we simulate neutral taxa-abundance datasets, and artificially noise the...
متن کاملGrowth tradeoffs produce complex microbial communities without direct interactions
The distribution of fitness effects for mutations is often believed to be key to predicting microbial evolution. However, fitness effects alone may be insufficient to predict evolutionary dynamics if mutations produce nontrivial ecological effects which depend on the composition of the population. Here we show that variation in multiple growth traits, such as lag times and growth rates, creates...
متن کاملInferring coalescence times from DNA sequence data.
The paper is concerned with methods for the estimation of the coalescence time (time since the most recent common ancestor) of a sample of intraspecies DNA sequences. The methods take advantage of prior knowledge of population demography, in addition to the molecular data. While some theoretical results are presented, a central focus is on computational methods. These methods are easy to implem...
متن کاملInferring pandemic growth rates from sequence data
Using sequence data to infer population dynamics is playing an increasing role in the analysis of outbreaks. The most common methods in use, based on coalescent inference, have been widely used but not extensively tested against simulated epidemics. Here, we use simulated data to test the ability of both parametric and non-parametric methods for inference of effective population size (coded in ...
