Predictability of the community-function landscape in wine yeast ecosystems

J. Ruiz, M. de Celis, J. Diaz-Colunga, J. C. C. Vila, B. Benitez-Dominguez, J. VICENTE, A. Santos, A. Sanchez, I. Belda

The paper predicts community function in wine yeast ecosystems by linking taxonomy to enological traits and showing quantitative rules govern strain contributions to fermentation.

The architecture of metabolic networks constrains the evolution of microbial resource hierarchies

S. Takano, J. C. C. Vila, R. Miyazaki, A. Sanchez, D. Bajic

This study uses genome-scale metabolic modeling to show that microbial metabolic hierarchies are constrained by central metabolism, limiting their evolutionary diversity.

Global epistasis and the emergence of ecological function

J. Diaz-Colunga, A. Skwara, J. C. C. Vila, D. Bajic, A. Sanchez

This study shows that interspecies interactions in ecological communities lead to simple linear models predicting ecological function, analogous to global epistasis in genetics.

Emergent coexistence in multispecies microbial communities

C.-Y. Chang, D. Bajic, J. C. C. Vila, S. Estrela, A. Sanchez

The paper tests whether pairwise coexistence in microbial communities predicts coexistence in complex communities, finding that most species pairs fail to coexist when isolated.

Diversity begets diversity under microbial niche construction

S. Estrela, J. Diaz-Colunga, J. C. C. Vila, A. Sanchez-Gorostiaga, A. Sanchez

The paper shows microbial niche construction and cross-feeding promote positive diversity relationships in communities, dependent on metabolic interactions.

Dissimilarity-Overlap Analysis of Replicate Enrichment Communities

J. C. C. Vila, Y.-Y. Liu, A. Sanchez

The paper uses DOA to analyze in vitro microbial communities, finding a negative correlation between dissimilarity and overlap in replicate habitats, suggesting potential for universal dynamics but not absolute universality.
