Congrats, Mike and #MicrobioJ 🥳 There's so much interest in microbial evolution nowadays, & so many labs doing great work. But it's been unclear where to publish given historical divisions between areas of biology. So it's great that Microbiology J now has a section & editors focused on this field.

Microbial Evolution section of #MicrobioJ published its 30th paper since launch in 2021 🎉 @relenski.bsky.social’s lab use models & experiments to test how bottlenecks affect adaptive dynamics Thanks to all our authors for supporting society publishing! www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/jour...

Effects of periodic bottlenecks on the dynamics of adaptive evolution in microbial populations

Population bottlenecks can impact the rate of adaptation in evolving populations. On the one hand, each bottleneck reduces the genetic variation that fuels adaptation. On the other hand, each founder ...
