Life Between Patches: Incorporating Microbiome Biology Alters the Predictions of Metacommunity Models
Although most models conceptualize a metacommunity as a collection of habitat patches embedded in a matrix that is not hospitable to life, new applications of metacommunity theory to host-microbiome systems have shown this assumption to be flawed. Frequently the matrix is at least somewhat hospitabl...
