Following these results, we identified two metrics, the bimodality coefficient and mean relative abundance. These metrics could allow for inferring the dispersal regime and compare microbial traits across species. (5/5).

Leveraging the stochastic nature of our model, we derived analytical predictions for species abundance.distributions in these regimes, quantifying how stochasticity interacts with dispersal and division to shape community diversity. (4/5).

We find that stochasticity during the assembly phase is critical in creating diversity within and between communities. We identified distinct dispersal regimes—characterized by the relative rates of dispersal and division—that produce varying levels of diversity. (3/5).

Microbial communities display variability in richness and abundance, even when assembled from the same species pool. How strongly and frequently different deterministic and stochastic factors drive this variability is a fundamental and unsolved question in ecology. (2/5).

Interested in understanding what factors drive diversity within and between microbial communities 🦠 when they assemble? 🧩 Check out our latest theoretical study! 🤓.👉 (1/5).

No two microbial communities share the same species richness and abundance. Experiments have shown that the assembly of new microbial communities from the same environmental pool is sufficient to...

Have you ever wondered how to use epistasis to describe between-species genetic interactions? 🌻🌷 Or how we can apply epistasis to study co-evolution? 🌿🐛 Then check out the new preprint by Loraine and @claudia_bank on intergenomic epistasis:

Our PI, @claudia_bank, is currently in India 🇮🇳 at @ictstifr for the sixth Bangalore School on Population Genetics and Evolution! @claudia_bank will give a talk about fitness landscapes! 👩🏫⛰️.
Are you fascinated by the science of evolution? If so, the upcoming KwK talk on fitness landscapes is for you. You'll learn all about how the shape of the fitness landscape impacts evolution's predictability and repeatability. ⏰Feb 25, 4 PM.🚩JNP Blore.👆

In the wild, any population is likely to be spatially structured. Whereas we deeply understand evolutionary dynamics in well-mixed populations, our understanding of evolutionary dynamics in subdivi...
