Strength of species interactions determines biodiversity and stability in microbial communities

C Ratzke, J Barrere, J Gore - Nature ecology & evolution, 2020 - nature.com
Organisms—especially microbes—tend to live together in ecosystems. While some of these
ecosystems are very biodiverse, others are not, and while some are very stable over time, …

Generic indicators for loss of resilience before a tipping point leading to population collapse

L Dai, D Vorselen, KS Korolev, J Gore - Science, 2012 - science.org
Theory predicts that the approach of catastrophic thresholds in natural systems (eg,
ecosystems, the climate) may result in an increasingly slow recovery from small perturbations, a …

Community structure follows simple assembly rules in microbial microcosms

J Friedman, LM Higgins, J Gore - Nature ecology & evolution, 2017 - nature.com
Microorganisms typically form diverse communities of interacting species, whose activities
have tremendous impact on the plants, animals and humans they associate with. The ability to …

Bacterial cheating drives the population dynamics of cooperative antibiotic resistance plasmids

…, HX Chao, MS Datta, T Artemova, J Gore - Molecular systems …, 2013 - embopress.org
Inactivation of β‐lactam antibiotics by resistant bacteria is a ‘cooperative’ behavior that may
allow sensitive bacteria to survive antibiotic treatment. However, the factors that determine …

Turning ecology and evolution against cancer

KS Korolev, JB Xavier, J Gore - Nature Reviews Cancer, 2014 - nature.com
The fight against cancer has drawn researchers from a wide variety of disciplines, ranging
from molecular biology to physics, but the perspective of an ecological theorist has been …

Snowdrift game dynamics and facultative cheating in yeast

J Gore, H Youk, A Van Oudenaarden - Nature, 2009 - nature.com
The origin of cooperation is a central challenge to our understanding of evolution 1 , 2 , 3 . The
fact that microbial interactions can be manipulated in ways that animal interactions cannot …

High performance electrolyte gated carbon nanotube transistors

S Rosenblatt, Y Yaish, J Park, J Gore, V Sazonova… - Nano …, 2002 - ACS Publications
We have fabricated high performance field-effect transistors made from semiconducting
single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). Using chemical vapor deposition to grow the tubes, …

Understanding microbial cooperation

JA Damore, J Gore - Journal of theoretical biology, 2012 - Elsevier
The field of microbial cooperation has grown enormously over the last decade, leading to
improved experimental techniques and a growing awareness of collective behavior in microbes…

Slower recovery in space before collapse of connected populations

L Dai, KS Korolev, J Gore - Nature, 2013 - nature.com
Slower recovery from perturbations near a tipping point and its indirect signatures in fluctuation
patterns have been suggested to foreshadow catastrophes in a wide variety of systems 1 …

Structural transitions and elasticity from torque measurements on DNA

Z Bryant, MD Stone, J Gore, SB Smith, NR Cozzarelli… - Nature, 2003 - nature.com
Abstract Knowledge of the elastic properties of DNA is required to understand the structural
dynamics of cellular processes such as replication and transcription. Measurements of force …
