A minimal model for microbial biodiversity can reproduce experimentally observed ecological patterns

Abstract Surveys of microbial biodiversity such as the Earth Microbiome Project (EMP) and the Human Microbiome Project (HMP) have revealed robust ecological patterns across different environments. A major goal in ecology is to leverage these patterns to identify the ecological processes shaping micr...
