Description:
Stability criteria for complex microbial communities Stability criteria for complex microbial communities, Published online: 30 July 2018; doi:10.1038/s41467-018-05308-z Network stability is a central topic in theoretical ecology, with most work focusing on mutualistic or food web networks. Here, the authors explore the stability of microbial networks based on the consumption and exchange of resources, showing that asymmetry in crossfeeding relationships can destabilize networks.
