Abstract [en]
Growing insight into microbial symbioses highlights the need to model these systems mathematically. We discuss three areas requiring theoretical advancement: nested ecology within a host or holobiont, holobiont population dynamics, and symbiont-mediated speciation. Developing the proposed frameworks will bridge theory and empirical findings, accelerating our understanding of host-microbe symbioses.
