Rediversification Following Ecotype Isolation Reveals Hidden Adaptive Potential

The paper shows that two-ecotype microbial communities can rediversify into two ecotypes after isolation, with similar patterns despite evolutionary time, but with differences in growth traits and transcriptional states.

Tipping points emerge from weak mutualism inmetacommunities

This study shows that weak mutualism in spatially structured metacommunities can lead to tipping points, ecosystem collapse, and bistability.

Spatial structure formation by RsmE-regulated extracellular secretions in Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf0-1

This study shows that RsmE-regulated secretions in Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf0-1 create and protect low-density spaces, with biosurfactant gacamide A defining genotypic boundaries.

Self-consistent migration puts tight constraintson the spatio-temporal organization ofspecies-rich metacommunities

The paper shows that self-consistent migration imposes strict constraints on the migration-extinction equilibrium in species-rich metacommunities, making them sensitive to environmental changes.
