Microbial communities perform metabolic processes that sustain life on Earth and promote
human health. Microbial consortia sustain these functions in the face of constant structural …

Designing microbiomes for applications in health, bioengineering, and sustainability is
intrinsically linked to a fundamental theoretical understanding of the rules governing …

During the last decades, macroecology has identified broad-scale patterns of abundances
and diversity of microbial communities and put forward some potential explanations for …

How can we figure out how the different microbes interact within microbiomes? To combine
theoretical models and experimental data, we often fit a deterministic model for the mean …

Tissue ecosystems are cellular communities that maintain setpoints through a network of
intercellular interactions. We position health and chronic inflammatory disease as alternative …

Alterations in human microbial communities are intricately linked to the onset and
progression of diseases. Identifying the key microbes driving these community changes is …

The gut microbiome plays a pivotal role in the human body, and perturbations in its
composition have been linked to various disorders. Stability is an essential property of a …

An instrumental discovery in comparative and developmental biology is the existence of
assembly archetypes that synthesize the vast diversity of organisms' body plans—from legs …

Dimensionality reduction offers unique insights into high-dimensional microbiome dynamics
by leveraging collective abundance fluctuations of multiple bacteria driven by similar …

Time series studies of microbiome interventions provide valuable data about microbial
ecosystem structure. Unfortunately, existing models of microbial community dynamics have …
