Classical ecological models are inadequate for understanding microbial ecosystems.</br></br>2. The large-scale, reproducible patterns we see across microbiomes are emergent features of “typical random ecosystems.”</br></br>3. Diverse communities will almost always behave like “random ecosystems.” </br></br>'''Question I want to discuss'''</br></br>Can large-scale ecological changes over time be understood through simple general principles? (Samraat, Jacopo, Priyanga, me: flux balance/metabolic rates, random matrix theory, biochemical and morphological constraints) </br></br>Are there ecological summary statistics that change monotonically over time? (Jacopo, and some of my work that I didn't talk about -- see references)</br></br>Which properties of individual organisms are essential for predicting large-scale ecological changes? </br></br>- Pamela -- why do some vaccines fail to produce large-scale ecological change (i.e., pathogen extinction)?</br></br>- Greg -- importance of distribution of susceptibilities to dynamics of epizootic onset.</br></br>- Fernanda -- importance of adaptive foraging for understanding why pollinator systems don't collapse -- and why they might under new circumstances.</br></br>- Samraat -- taking the mechanics of inter-species interaction seriously, understanding how they affect response of ecosystem to temperature changes.</br></br>- Priyanga -- asymmetry of reaction norms for temperature variation.</br></br>What do we miss when we focus too much on equilibrium/steady states? (Prevalence of cyclic disturbance/recovery dynamics -- Greg, Samraat)rbance/recovery dynamics -- Greg, Samraat))
