Evolutionary dynamics of nascent multicellular lineages

G. Doulcier, P. Remigi, D. Rexin, P. B. Rainey

The paper investigates evolutionary dynamics of multicellular lineages through experiments and a computational pipeline, showing that switching between life cycle phases is crucial for maintaining fitness.

Stability of Ecologically Scaffolded Traits During Evolutionary Transitions in Individuality

G. Doulcier, P. Takacs, K. Hammerschmidt, P. Bourrat

The paper investigates how traits developed under ecological scaffolding can persist after scaffolding conditions are removed, using mathematical models to identify conditions for endogenisation.

Rapid dissemination of host-metabolism-manipulating transposon-like entities via integrative and conjugative elements

E. Colombi, F. Bertels, G. Doulcier, E. McConnell, T. Pichugina, K. H. Sohn, C. Straub, H. McCann, P. B. Rainey

The paper identifies a transposon-like entity in Pseudomonas syringae ICEs that manipulates bacterial metabolism, with a key regulator affecting gene expression and fitness.

Interaction among bacterial cells triggers exit from lag phase

M. B. P. Ardre, G. Doulcier, N. Brenner, P. B. Rainey

The paper measures how bacterial population size affects lag phase duration and finds that lag time decreases with inoculum size due to cell-cell interactions.

Tradeoff breaking as model of evolutionary transitions in individuality and the limits of the fitness decoupling metaphor

P. Bourrat, G. Doulcier, C. J. Rose, P. B. Rainey, K. Hammerschmidt

The paper shows that fitness decoupling in evolutionary transitions is impossible and proposes tradeoff-breaking as a better marker for these transitions.

Life history tradeoffs, division of labor and evolutionary transitions in individuality

G. Doulcier, K. Hammerschmidt, P. Bourrat

The paper presents a theoretical model examining how life-history tradeoffs influence reproductive division of labor during evolutionary transitions in individuality.

Eco-evolutionary dynamics of nested Darwinian populations and the emergence of community-level heredity

G. Doulcier, A. Lambert, S. De Monte, P. B. Rainey

The paper shows how manipulating population structure can impose Darwinian properties on microbial communities, enabling them to reliably reproduce parental phenotypes through developmental correction.

Experimental manipulation of selfish genetic elements links genes to microbial community function

S. Quistad, G. Doulcier, P. B. Rainey

The paper manipulates selfish genetic elements in microbial communities to study gene function, finding enrichment of nitrogen metabolism genes and measurable impacts on community function.
