Fractal hypothesis of the pelagic microbial ecosystem - Can simple ecological principles lead to self-similar complexity in the pelagic microbial food web?
Trophic interactions are highly complex and modern sequencing techniques reveal enormous biodiversity across multiple scales in marine microbial communities . Within the chemically and physically relatively homogeneous pelagic environment, this calls for an explanation beyond spatial and temporal he...
