| Abstract: |
As in all complex ecosystems, multispecies symbiotic associations are shaped by ecological and evolutionary forces acting at several temporal, spatial, and organisational scales.Microbiome assembly inside plant and animal hosts is shaped by, and in turn shapes, the traits of both microbes and hosts.Theoretical frameworks combining ecological and evolutionary mechanisms are essential to provide a better understanding of the assembly of complex symbiotic microbial communities.The generation of testable predictions from theory relies on the identification of key mechanisms playing a fundamental role on the questions and patterns addressed. In microbiome research this amounts to processes giving rise to their complex organisation.Methods for matching empirical patterns to model outcomes through model selection and data analysis can reveal potential sets of mechanisms and conditions capable of generating observed patterns of organisation in complex microbiomes. |
