The legacy of the use and misuse of antibiotics in recent decades has left us with a global
public health crisis: antibiotic-resistant bacteria are on the rise, making it harder to treat …

Consumer–resource interactions are fundamental components of ecological communities.
Classic features of consumer–resource models are that temporal dynamics are often cyclic, …

Rapid evolution in ecologically relevant traits has recently been recognized to significantly
alter the interaction between consumers and their resources, a key interaction in all …

Low concentrations of antibiotics have numerous effects on bacteria. However, it is unknown
whether ecological factors such as trophic interactions and spatial structuring influence the …

Predation, environmental fluctuations, and immigration are commonly expected to affect
community dynamics and diversity. However, interactions between these factors are largely …

The pathogen virulence is traditionally thought to co-evolve as a result of reciprocal
selection with its host organism. In natural communities, pathogens and hosts are typically …

The coincidental evolution hypothesis predicts that traits connected to bacterial pathogenicity
could be indirectly selected outside the host as a correlated response to abiotic …

Productivity is predicted to drive the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of predator–prey
interaction through changes in resource allocation between different traits. Here we report …

Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus are the most abundant photosynthesizing organisms
in the oceans. Gene content variation among picocyanobacterial populations in separate …

Cyanophages, that is, viruses infecting cyanobacteria, are a key component driving
cyanobacterial community dynamics both ecologically and evolutionarily. In addition to reducing …
