Symbiosis increases population size and buffers environmental fluctuations in a physiologically-structured model parameterized for thyasirid bivalves

Dynamic Energy Budget theory predicts smaller energy reserves in thyasirid bivalves that harbour symbionts

Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) theory describes the ecophysiology of individuals and distinguishes between the biomass of an organism that functions as an energy reserve and as a structure. DEB theory offers a robust framework to infer and contrast …
