Strong Ethanol- and Frequency-Dependent Ecological Interactions in a Community of Wine-Fermenting Yeasts

S. Lax, J. Gore

The paper studies ecological interactions among wine-fermenting yeasts under varying ethanol concentrations, showing frequency-dependent bistable interactions and competitive hierarchies that influence community outcomes.

Higher Temperatures Generically Favor Slower-Growing Bacterial Species in Multispecies Communities

S. Lax, C. I. Abreu, J. Gore

The paper predicts that higher temperatures favor slower-growing bacterial species in communities and validates this with experimental cocultures.

Microbial Similarity between Students in a Common Dormitory Environment Reveals the Forensic Potential of Individual Microbial Signatures

M. Richardson, N. Gottel, J. A. Gilbert, S. Lax

The paper investigates microbial signatures in a dormitory environment, finding that individual microbial signatures can be distinguished using MED clustering and revealing distinct transmission patterns through hand and shoe-associated samples.
