Historical Contingency Limits Adaptive Diversification in a Spatially Structured Environment

Gillian Patton, John C. Meraz, Michelle Yin, Sarah B. Worthan, Sara Williams, Megan G. Behringer

This study shows that initial mutations can constrain adaptive diversification in structured environments, highlighting the role of genotype-by-environment interactions in evolutionary outcomes.

Elevated rates and biased spectra of mutations in anaerobically cultured lactic acid bacteria

Owen F. Hale, Michelle Yin, Megan G. Behringer

This study measures mutation rates and spectra in anaerobic lactic acid bacteria over 1000 generations, revealing elevated rates and transition biases, with novel mutation dynamics in specific species.

Trade-offs between phage resistance and conjugative ability shape the ecological and evolutionary response of a multidrug resistance plasmid to plasmid-dependent phage

Daniel Cazares, Eliza Rayner, Adrián Cazares, Wendy Figueroa, David Goulding, Samuel T. E. Greenrod, Adam J. Mulkern, Michelle Yin, Tao He, Nick Thomson, Michael A. Brockhurst, R. Craig MacLean

This study shows that multidrug resistance plasmids face a trade-off between phage resistance and conjugative ability, which affects their evolutionary response to plasmid-dependent phages.
