Running with the Red Queen: the role of biotic conflicts in evolution
What are the causes of natural selection? Over 40 years ago, Van Valen proposed the Red
Queen hypothesis, which emphasized the primacy of biotic conflict over abiotic forces in …

Species interactions alter evolutionary responses to a novel environment
Studies of evolutionary responses to novel environments typically consider single species or
perhaps pairs of interacting species. However, all organisms co-occur with many other …

High speciation rate of niche specialists in hot springs
Ecological and evolutionary processes simultaneously regulate microbial diversity, but the
evolutionary processes and their driving forces remain largely unexplored. Here we …

How do species interactions affect evolutionary dynamics across whole communities?
TG Barraclough - Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and …, 2015 - annualreviews.org
Theories of how species evolve in changing environments mostly consider single species in
isolation or pairs of interacting species. Yet all organisms live in diverse communities …

Evolution of species interactions determines microbial community productivity in new environments
Diversity generally increases ecosystem productivity over short timescales. Over longer
timescales, both ecological and evolutionary responses to new environments could alter …

Plankton response to global warming is characterized by non-uniform shifts in assemblage composition since the last ice age
Biodiversity is expected to change in response to future global warming. However, it is
difficult to predict how species will track the ongoing climate change. Here we use the fossil …

Bacterial strategies to preserve cell wall integrity against environmental threats
Bacterial cells are surrounded by an exoskeleton-like structure, the cell wall, composed
primarily of the peptidoglycan (PG) sacculus. This structure is made up of glycan strands …

TEtools facilitates big data expression analysis of transposable elements and reveals an antagonism between their activity and that of piRNA genes
Over recent decades, substantial efforts have been made to understand the interactions
between host genomes and transposable elements (TEs). The impact of TEs on the …
