Biodiversity of marine microbes is safeguarded by phenotypic variability in ecological traits
Susanne Menden-Deuer, Medet Nursultanov, Sinead Collins +2
Why, contrary to theoretical predictions, do marine microbe communities harbor tremendous phenotypic heterogeneity? How can so many marine microbe species competing in the same nic…
Mathematics Indicates That an HIV-Style Strategy Could Be Applied to Manage the Coronavirus
Julie Rowlett
We have learned to live with many potentially deadly viruses for which there is no vaccine, no immunity, and no cure. We do not live in constant fear of these viruses, instead, we…
The theory of games and microbe ecology
Susanne Menden-Deuer, Julie Rowlett
Using game theory we provide mathematical proof that if a species of asexually reproducing microbes does not possess maximum variability in competitive abilities amongst its indivi…
Many ways to stay in the game: Individual variability maintains high biodiversity in planktonic micro-organisms
Susanne Menden-Deuer, Julie Rowlett
In apparent contradiction to competition theory, the number of known, co-existing plankton species far exceeds their explicable biodiversity - a discrepancy termed the Paradox of t…
