Population model of epigenetic inheritance of acquired adaptation to changing environments

The paper introduces a population model showing that inheriting environmentally driven epigenetic changes can confer long-term population advantages despite potential maladaptation to offspring.

Partner-assisted artificial selection of a secondary function for efficient bioremediation

This study introduces partner-assisted artificial selection (PAAS) to improve microbial enzymatic functions for bioremediation, showing it enhances toxin degradation despite stochasticity.

Darwinian selection of host and bacteria supports emergence of Lamarckian-like adaptation of the system as a whole

The paper models host-bacteria interactions to show that toxic stress can lead to emergent adaptations, including Lamarckian-like traits in host-microbiome systems.
