spatial 
diversity

Fig_1C_edited_edited.jpg

Collections of different microbial genotypes do not always self-organize into a single spatial pattern. Instead, they sometimes self-organize into multiple spatial patterns simultaneously and at the same length scale. We refer to this phenomenon as spatial diversification in self-organization. Our goal is to elucidate specific mechanisms that can give rise to spatial diversity and to understand its ecological and evolutionary consequences.
