Sign and strength of pairwise interactions in natural isolates depend on environment type.

Terence McAvoy, Elze Hesse, Angus G. J. Buckling, Luke Lear

The paper investigates how environmental conditions affect pairwise bacterial interactions, finding more negative interactions in nutrient-rich media and more positive interactions in nutrient-poor media.

Parallel ecological and evolutionary responses to selection in a natural bacterial community

Elze Hesse, Adela M. Luján, Siobhán O’Brien…·Angus Buckling

The paper tracks ecological and evolutionary changes in a bacterial community under copper stress, finding that siderophore production converges at intermediate levels through both species sorting and evolution.
