stagePop: Modelling stage-structured populations in R
stagePop is an R package that can be used to model the deterministic dynamics and interactions of stage-structured populations. These are populations where the life cycle consists of distinct stages e.g. eggs, juveniles and reproductive adults. Explicitly including stage structure when modelling the population dynamics of stage-structured organisms can have an enormous effect on the resulting d...
متن کاملCarbon use efficiency of microbial communities: stoichiometry, methodology and modelling.
Carbon use efficiency (CUE) is a fundamental parameter for ecological models based on the physiology of microorganisms. CUE determines energy and material flows to higher trophic levels, conversion of plant-produced carbon into microbial products and rates of ecosystem carbon storage. Thermodynamic calculations support a maximum CUE value of ~ 0.60 (CUE max). Kinetic and stoichiometric constrai...
متن کاملConstraint-based stoichiometric modelling from single organisms to microbial communities
Microbial communities are ubiquitously found in Nature and have direct implications for the environment, human health and biotechnology. The species composition and overall function of microbial communities are largely shaped by metabolic interactions such as competition for resources and cross-feeding. Although considerable scientific progress has been made towards mapping and modelling specie...
متن کاملMetagenomics and Microbial Communities
Metagenomics is the genomic analysis of microbial communities. This new science provides access to organisms that are recalcitrant to culturing, as are the vastmajority of microorganismsonEarth.Metagenomics therebyoffers a first peek at thewide varietyof life that has never been studied, thus providing new insight into the structure and function of ecosystems as diverse as the oceans and the hu...
متن کاملMicrobial Communities
The recently sequenced genome of the parasitic bacterium Mycoplasma genitalium contains only 468 identified protein-coding genes that have been dubbed a minimal gene complement [Fraser, C. M., Gocayne, J. D., White, O., Adams, M. D., Clayton, R. A., et al. (1995) Science 270, 397-403]. Although the M. genitalium gene complement is indeed the smallest among known cellular life forms, there is no...
