The ecology of microbial invasions

1 October 2015

Scientists have described how microbial invasions follow the same general pattern as invasions by plant or animal species. This is a clear example of how the microbiological world follows general rules of ecology. The discovery demonstrates the value of using microbial systems to investigate ecological and evolutionary questions, and has strong implications for our understanding and even treatment of infectious diseases.
