Microbial Community Modeling: Prediction of Microbial Interactions and Community Dynamics

Abstract

This Special Issue calls for contributions across a broad range of areas that address recent computational and modeling developments for predicting species interactions and community dynamics and functions. Modeling frameworks of interest include metabolic network analysis, flux balance analysis, trait-based modeling, Lotka-Volterra modeling, evolutionary game theory, the cybernetic approach, functional gene-based modeling, thermodynamically-based modeling, individual-based modeling, integrative multiscale modeling, and other relevant approaches.
