[HTML][HTML] Mortality causes universal changes in microbial community composition

CI Abreu, J Friedman, VL Andersen Woltz… - Nature …, 2019 - nature.com
All organisms are sensitive to the abiotic environment, and a deteriorating environment can
cause extinction. However, survival in a multispecies community depends upon interactions, …

Higher temperatures generically favour slower-growing bacterial species in multispecies communities

S Lax, CI Abreu, J Gore - Nature ecology & evolution, 2020 - nature.com
Temperature is one of the fundamental environmental variables that determine the composition
and function of microbial communities. However, a predictive understanding of how …

Environmental fluctuations reshape an unexpected diversity-disturbance relationship in a microbial community

CP Mancuso, H Lee, CI Abreu, J Gore, AS Khalil - Elife, 2021 - elifesciences.org
Environmental disturbances have long been theorized to play a significant role in shaping
the diversity and composition of ecosystems. However, an inability to specify the …

[HTML][HTML] Microbial communities display alternative stable states in a fluctuating environment

CI Abreu, VL Andersen Woltz… - PLoS computational …, 2020 - journals.plos.org
The effect of environmental fluctuations is a major question in ecology. While it is widely
accepted that fluctuations and other types of disturbances can increase biodiversity, there are …

Warmer temperatures favor slower-growing bacteria in natural marine communities

CI Abreu, M Dal Bello, C Bunse, J Pinhassi, J Gore - Science Advances, 2023 - science.org
Earth’s life-sustaining oceans harbor diverse bacterial communities that display varying
composition across time and space. While particular patterns of variation have been linked to a …

[HTML][HTML] Strong environmental memory revealed by experimental evolution in static and fluctuating environments

CI Abreu, S Mathur, DA Petrov - bioRxiv, 2023 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Evolution in a static environment, such as a laboratory setting with constant and uniform
conditions, often proceeds via large-effect beneficial mutations that may become maladaptive in …

Emergence of alternative stable states in microbial communities in a fluctuating environment

VL Andersen Woltz, CI Abreu, J Friedman, J Gore - bioRxiv, 2019 - biorxiv.org
The effect of environmental fluctuations is a major question in ecology. While it is widely
accepted that fluctuations and other types of disturbances can increase biodiversity, we have …

Enhanced susceptibility to Citrobacter rodentium infection in microRNA-155-deficient mice

…, AW Walker, JL Hill, C Abreu-Goodger… - Infection and …, 2013 - Am Soc Microbiol
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding molecules that control gene expression
posttranscriptionally, with microRNA-155 (miR-155) one of the first to be implicated in immune …

When two are better than one

CI Abreu, MS Datta - Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2021 - nature.com
A clever experimental design in bacteria with engineered obligate mutualisms shows that
interdependency can allow pairs of bacteria to survive in environments that are …

Pairing off: a bottom‐up approach to the human gut microbiome

C Abreu, A Ortiz Lopez, J Gore - Molecular systems biology, 2018 - embopress.org
The human gut microbiome has been implicated in a variety of health outcomes, and
extensive research has aimed to understand its composition and function, primarily via …
