🚨#PhD opportunity!🚨Do plasmids help soil microbiomes adapt to climate change? Join me and Raj Whitlock to investigate, using the world's longest-running climate experiment 🌾🥵🦠 Please share, and get in touch if you are interested! www.findaphd.com/phds/project...
🦠 Do microbiomes have their own microbiomes? 🦠 Well... kind of. Much smaller than bacteria, there is a whole zoo of Darwinian entities that depend on microbial hosts. We could call these collectives "nanobiomes", and there's much to explore! 🧵 A thread (originally on Twitter, now on Bsky) ⬇️
This is awesome from @wcratcliff.bsky.socialelifesciences.org/articles/84336#EvoSky
Clonal development, but not aggregation, promotes the transition of Darwinian individuality from cells to groups, emphasizing the fundamental role of initial multicellular life cycles in the evolution...
Like a keen bean, sharing our latest work on this new app 😎 many many Pseudomonas samples and 4 years later… our paper is out 🎉 TLDR; The diversity of Pseudomonas in ICU patient lungs can accelerate the evolution of antibiotic resistance 🦠 Linking evolutionary biology with clinical outcomes.
Here, Caballero et al. provide an in depth characterisation of patients colonized with single or mixed strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to demonstrate the impact of within-host diversity on the devel...
Are you interested in mutualisms? Have you always wondered how these cooperative interactions emerge and coevolve? If the answer to these questions is YES, then please consider joining my vibrant group as a PhD student. Please RT. More details👇 www.uni-osnabrueck.de/universitaet...
