This study shows obligate multicellularity reduces population genetic barriers to collective adaptation in yeast by enabling rapid group size increases through whole genome duplication.

The paper explores how the transition from RNA-based to protein-based life resolved evolutionary conflicts within protocells by establishing the genome as the heritable unit.

The paper shows that the fitness costs of reproductive specialization decrease with organism size, using a population genetic framework and empirical data from algae.

This paper introduces SPI, a super-resolution microscopy technique that enables real-time, high-throughput imaging with minimal post-processing.

This study shows that genetic assortment in yeast evolved indirectly through cell-level selection, not directly for collective-level benefits, revealing constraints on aggregative multicellularity.

This study shows oxygen-binding proteins enhance fitness in larger organisms under high oxygen conditions by improving oxygen diffusion efficiency.
