Competition for fluctuating resources reproduces statistics of species abundance over time across wide-ranging microbiotas

Competition for fluctuating resources reproduces statistics of species abundance over time across wide-ranging microbiotas

Across diverse microbiotas, species abundances vary in time with distinctive statistical behaviors that appear to generalize across hosts, but the origins and implications of these patterns remain unclear. Here, we show that many of these macroecological patterns can be quantitatively recapitulated...
