Microfluidics is a rapidly growing discipline that involves studying and manipulating fluids at
reduced length scale and volume, typically on the scale of micro-or nanoliters. Under the …

Microbial consortia exhibit spatial patterning across diverse environments. Since probing the
self-organization of natural microbial communities is limited by their inherent complexity …

Multispecies bacterial populations often inhabit confined and densely packed environments
where spatial competition determines the ecological diversity of the community. However …

Evolution is the main feature of all biological systems that allows populations to change their
characteristics over successive generations. A powerful approach to understand …

Competition is ubiquitous in microbial communities, shaping both their spatial and temporal
structure and composition. Classical minimal models of competition, such as the Moran …

We consider spatial population dynamics on a lattice, following a type of a contact (birth–
death) stochastic process. We show that simple mathematical approximations for the density …

Bacteria are unicellular organisms whose length is usually around a few micrometers.
Advances in microfabrication techniques have enabled the design and implementation of …

Cell lineage statistics is a powerful tool for inferring cellular parameters, such as division
rate, death rate, or population growth rate. Yet, in practice such an analysis suffers from a …

Ecological populations are shaped by inter-and intra-species interactions within the
community. However, it remains unclear how these interactions, along with other factors …
