Estimating taxon-specific population dynamics in diverse microbial communities
Understanding how population-level dynamics contribute to ecosystem-level processes is a primary focus of ecological research and has led to important breakthroughs in the ecology of macroscopic organisms. However, the inability to measure population-specific rates, such as growth, for microbial taxa within natural assemblages has limited ecologists’ understanding of how microbial populations i...
متن کاملDynamics of microbial communities
Biogeosciences Discussions This discussion paper is/has been under review for the journal Biogeosciences (BG). Please refer to the corresponding final paper in BG if available. Abstract In initial ecosystems concentrations of all macro-and micronutrients can be considered as extremely low. Plant litter therefore strongly influences the development of a degraders' food web and is an important so...
متن کاملVirus population dynamics and acquired virus resistance in natural microbial communities.
Viruses shape microbial community structure and function by altering the fitness of their hosts and by promoting genetic exchange. The complexity of most natural ecosystems has precluded detailed studies of virus-host interactions. We reconstructed virus and host bacterial and archaeal genome sequences from community genomic data from two natural acidophilic biofilms. Viruses were matched to th...
متن کاملThe quasi-deterministic limit of population dynamics
We discuss and compare three different, but related, approximations to the stochastic dynamics of populations, all of them having as limit the same deterministic dynamics. The diffusion approximation (van Kampen (1981a); Arnold (1997)), linearized diffusion approximation (Kurtz (1971)) and the Poisson approximation (Aparicio & Solari (2001a); Solari & Natiello (2003b)) are briefly revisited and...
متن کاملPopulation Games and Deterministic Evolutionary Dynamics
Population games describe strategic interactions among large numbers of small, anonymous agents. Behavior in these games is typically modeled dynamically, with agents occasionally receiving opportunities to switch strategies, basing their choices on simple myopic rules called revision protocols. Over finite time spans the evolution of aggregate behavior is well approximated by the solution of a...
