Insights into resource consumption, cross-feeding, system collapse, stability and biodiversity from an artificial ecosystem.
Community ecosystems at very different levels of biological organization often have similar properties. Coexistence of multiple species, cross-feeding, biodiversity and fluctuating population dynamics are just a few of the properties that arise in a range of ecological settings. Here we develop a bottom-up model of consumer-resource interactions, in the form of an artificial ecosystem 'number s...
متن کاملBiodiversity and Ecosystem Stability
Introduction: Biodiversity, Stability, and Ecosystem Functioning Climate change and other human-driven (anthropogenic) environmental changes will continue to cause biodiversity loss in the coming decades (Sala et al. 2000), in addition to the high rates of species extinctions already occurring worldwide (Stork 2010). Biodiversity is a term that can be used to describe biological diversity at a ...
متن کاملPredicting ecosystem stability from community composition and biodiversity.
As biodiversity is declining at an unprecedented rate, an important current scientific challenge is to understand and predict the consequences of biodiversity loss. Here, we develop a theory that predicts the temporal variability of community biomass from the properties of individual component species in monoculture. Our theory shows that biodiversity stabilises ecosystems through three main me...

متن کاملCooperation promotes biodiversity and stability in a model ecosystem
Empirical observations show that natural communities of species with mutualistic interactions such microbes, can have a number of coexisting species of the order of hundreds. However standard models in population dynamics predict that ecosystem stability should decrease as the number of species in the community increases and that cooperative systems are less stable than communities with only co...
