Higher-order interactions stabilize dynamics in competitive network models

Higher-order interactions stabilize dynamics in competitive network models Jacopo Grilli, György Barabás, Matthew J. Michalska-Smith, Stefano Allesina Nature 548, 210–213 (10 August 2017) doi:10.1038/nature23273 There’s no PDF available, but this is too good not to include here. Reef-oriented microbial communities in the wild are large and stable. Read that twice and then read on to the quote from the article. 🙂 […]

Effect of nitrogen and phosphorus supply on growth, chlorophyll content and tissue composition of the macroalga Chaetomorpha linum (O.F. Mull), Kutz, in a Mediterranean Coastal Lagoon

Folks also consistently underestimate the significance of seeing their chaeto stop growing.  It’s fantastic at grabbing and holding nutrients, so if it stops growing that means your whole tank is most probably nutrient limited.
