Metabolic constraints on complex ecosystems
Scores of competitive, mutualistic, and consumer-resource interactions between organisms underlie every ecosystem. Altogether, these interactions form large, complex networks that show interesting and sometimes unpredictable ecosystem dynamics. Can we ever hope to achieve a level of understanding that will allow us to predict how and when these complex systems arise/assemble, and persist under external perturbations? I will talk about how quantifying species interactions using metabolic theory for individual organisms offers a way, and yields novel and empirically-relevant predictions about ecosystem assembly and stability under environmental fluctuations.
