Abstract:In this paper we investigate the interplay between two fundamental mechanisms of microbial population dynamics and evolution called dormancy and horizontal gene transfer. The corresponding traits come in many guises and are ubiquitous in microbial communities, affecting their dynamics in important ways. Recently, they have each moved (separately) into the focus of stochastic individual-based modelling (Billiard et al 2016(Billiard et al , 2018Champagnat, Méléard and Tran, 2019; Blath and Tóbiás 2019).
