This study uses a consumer-resource model to show that less competitive and more cooperative microbial communities dominate coalescence outcomes and evolve to be more species-rich and efficient.

The paper shows microbial communities can rapidly adapt to temperature changes by resuscitating pre-adapted strains, leading to distinct communities at different temperatures.

The paper experimentally characterizes the temperature dependence of bacterial carbon use efficiency (CUE) across diverse isolates, finding that CUE often increases or shows no response with temperature, challenging the common assumption of a negative relationship.

The paper investigates how adaptive evolution shapes the thermal sensitivity of population growth rate across microbial and plant species, finding that thermal sensitivity evolves rapidly and shows convergence across clades.

The paper finds that mesophilic prokaryotes' maximal growth rates increase with temperature, while thermophiles do not, and shows that microbial metabolic rates will rise with global warming.

This study compares genome evolution in bdelloid rotifers to assess the impact of asexuality and desiccation tolerance, finding that desiccation is not the primary driver of genomic features previously attributed to asexuality.
