Abstract

We are trying to uncover the mechanisms that drive ecological processes from field measurements to their expressions in the various "omics". As the title reads, I will focus on two examples from our studies, Lake Kinneret and biological desert soil crusts, and bring evidence that interspecies interactions play a major role in determining "who is there".
