Abstract: Abstract Aposematism and crypticity are visual defensive strategies against predation; however, the relative effectiveness of these two strategies to reduce the risk of predation is not yet fully understood. We evaluated the risk of predation… read more here.

Abstract: Significance Bacterial adaptation to the presence of an antibiotic often involves evolutionary trade-offs, such as increased susceptibility to other drugs (collateral sensitivity). Its exploitation to design improved therapeutic strategies is only feasible if collateral sensitivity… read more here.
