This paper develops a theoretical model to study how stage-dependent cell differentiation affects the evolution of optimal differentiation patterns, finding that irreversible differentiation is favored in small organisms.

The paper introduces a computational workflow to infer microbial community interactions from time series data, quantifying parameter uncertainty and comparing mechanistic models.

This study models microbial inheritance from parents to offspring and finds it significantly shapes microbiomes in hosts with short lifespans or limited environmental colonization.

The paper investigates how type-specific rates affect occurrence-abundance patterns in microbial communities using a computational model and finds that large immigration and biodiversity lead to these patterns regardless of neutrality.
