Understanding Microbial Communities; Function, Structure and Dynamics

I will review recent work for modeling populations from the individual-level, using statistical mechanics to obtain a description at the population level. Topics that will be briefly covered within the time available are (1) Quasi-Turing patterns in plankton-herbivore systems and biofilms; (2) Rapid evolution and anomalous population cycles in rotifer-algae chemostats.

This work has been performed in collaboration with Tom Butler, Hong-Yan Shih and K. Michael Martini, and partially supported by the US National Science Foundation.
