The effect of a temperature-sensitive prophage on the evolution of virulence in an opportunistic bacterial pathogen

This study examines how temperature-sensitive prophages influence virulence evolution in Serratia marcescens through genetic and epigenetic changes.

Rich resource environment of fish farms facilitates phenotypic variation and virulence in an opportunistic fish pathogen

The paper shows that fish farm environments promote phenotypic variation and virulence in Flavobacterium columnare, with rough morphotypes growing faster and reversing to rhizoid types in contact with fish.

Roles of adenine methylation and genetic mutations in adaptation to different temperatures in Serratia marcescens

This study investigates the roles of adenine methylation and genetic mutations in Serratia marcescens adaptation to different temperatures using experimental evolution and single molecule real-time sequencing.

Quantitative genetics of temperature performance curves of Neurospora crassa

This study examines the genetic variation and evolutionary potential of thermal performance curves in Neurospora crassa, finding substantial genetic variation and no strong genetic trade-offs between growth at different temperatures.

Invasion triple trouble: Environmental fluctuations, fluctuation-adapted invaders and fluctuation-mal-adapted communities all govern invasion success

This study shows that environmental fluctuations, invader adaptation, and community adaptation all influence invasion success in bacterial populations under climate change scenarios.
