Integrating Theory and Experiment to Explain the Breakdown of Population Synchrony in a Complex Microbial Community
Emma J. Bowen, Todd L. Parsons, Thomas P. Curtis +2
We consider the extension of the `Moran effect', where correlated noise generates synchrony between isolated single species populations, to the study of synchrony between populatio…
Linking statistical and ecological theory: Hubbell's unified neutral theory of biodiversity as a hierarchical Dirichlet process
Keith Harris, Todd L Parsons, Umer Z Ijaz +3
Neutral models which assume ecological equivalence between species provide null models for community assembly. In Hubbell's Unified Neutral Theory of Biodiversity (UNTB), many loca…
CONCOCT: Clustering cONtigs on COverage and ComposiTion
Johannes Alneberg, Brynjar Smari Bjarnason, Ino de Bruijn +6
Metagenomics enables the reconstruction of microbial genomes in complex microbial communities without the need for culturing. Since assembly typically results in fragmented genomes…
Topological structure and interaction strengths in model food webs
Christopher Quince, Paul Higgs, Alan McKane
We report the results of carrying out a large number of simulations on a coevolutionary model of multispecies communities. A wide range of parameter values were investigated which…
Deleting species from model food webs
Christopher Quince, Paul Higgs, Alan McKane
We use food webs generated by a model to investigate the effects of deleting species on other species in the web and on the web as a whole. The model incorporates a realistic popul…
The impact of non-linear functional responses on the long-term evolution of food web structure
Barbara Drossel, Alan McKane, Christopher Quince
We investigate the long-term web structure emerging in evolutionary food web models when different types of functional responses are used. We find that large and complex webs with…
