Network approaches to ecological questions have been increasingly used, particularly in
recent decades. The abstraction of ecological systems–such as communities–through …

Although networks provide a powerful approach to study a large variety of ecological
systems, their formulation does not typically account for multiple interaction types …

The ecological forces that govern the assembly and stability of the human gut microbiota
remain unresolved. We developed a generalizable model‐guided framework to predict …

Real-world complex networks are composed of non-random quantitative interactions.
Identifying communities of nodes that tend to interact more with each other than the network …

The evolutionary arms race between phages and bacteria, where bacteria evolve resistance
to phages and phages retaliate with resistance-countering mutations, is a major driving force …

Microbial communities are shaped by viral predators. Yet, resolving which viruses (phages)
and bacteria are interacting is a major challenge in the context of natural levels of microbial …

With high-throughput sequencing (HTS), we are able to explore the hidden world of
microscopic organisms to an unpre-cedented level. The fast development of molecular …

When we think about viruses we tend to consider ones that afflict humans—such as those
that cause influenza, HIV, and Ebola. Yet, vastly more viruses infect single-celled microbes …

The application of viral and cellular metagenomics to natural environments has expanded
our understanding of the structure, functioning, and diversity of microbial and viral …

Interactions between species catalyze the evolution of multiscale ecological networks,
including both nested and modular elements that regulate the function of diverse …
