abstract：:Understanding how ecosystems evolve and how they respond to external perturbations is critical if we are to predict the effects of human intervention. A particular class of ecosystems whose dynamics are poorly understood are those in which the species are related via cross-feeding. In these ecosystems the metabolic ou...
