Ecological diversification without genomic reorganization: repeat dynamics and regulatory evolution in Metarhizium robertsii

This study investigates how closely related Metarhizium robertsii strains occupy distinct ecological niches through repeat dynamics and regulatory evolution without extensive genomic reorganization.

Origins and metabolic evolution of multifunctionality in Metarhizium robertsii: linking phenotypic diversity to ecological niche plasticity

This study examines the metabolic evolution of Metarhizium robertsii, showing how nutritional flexibility drives ecological niche shifts from insect pathogens to plant associations and enhanced virulence.
