There is growing concern over tip** points arising in ecosystems because of the crossing
of environmental thresholds. Tip** points lead to abrupt and possibly irreversible shifts …

Viruses of bacteria (bacteriophages or phage) have broad effects on bacterial ecology and
evolution in nature that mediate microbial interactions, shape bacterial diversity, and …

Competition can result in evolutionary changes to coexistence between competitors but
there are no theoretical models that predict how the components of coexistence change …

Theoretical models pertaining to feedbacks between ecological and evolutionary processes
are prevalent in multiple biological fields. An integrative overview is currently lacking, due to …

Evolution has been viewed as occurring primarily through selection among individuals. We
present a framework based on multilevel selection for evaluating evolutionary change from …

The structure of ecological networks reflects the evolutionary history of their biotic
components, and their dynamics are strongly driven by ecoevolutionary processes. Here, we …

Bacteria with increased mutation rates (mutators) are common in chronic infections and are
associated with poorer clinical outcomes, especially in the case of Pseudomonas …

Interspecific coevolutionary interactions can result in rapid biotic adaptation, but most
studies have focused only on species pairs. Here, we (co) evolved five microbial species in …

'Species' are central to understanding the origin and dynamics of biological diversity;
explaining why lineages split into multiple distinct species is one of the main goals of …

Identifying different types of coevolutionary dynamics is important for understanding
biodiversity and infectious disease. Past work has often focused on pairs of interacting …
