Abstract excerpt

Historical processes in community assembly, such as species arrival order, influence interactions, causing priority effects. Candida albicans and Pseudomonas aeruginosa often co-occur in biofilm-based infections of the skin, lungs, and medical devices. Their predominantly antagonistic relationship involves complex physical and chemical interactions. However, the presence and implications of priority effects among...
