DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8191
Abstract: Abstract Experimental evolution studies with microorganisms such as bacteria and yeast have been an increasingly important and powerful tool to draw long‐term inferences of how microbes interact. However, while several strains of the same species… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/ngeo2854
Abstract: Coccolithophores—single-celled calcifying phytoplankton—are an important group of marine primary producers and the dominant builders of calcium carbonate globally. Coccolithophores form extensive blooms and increase the density and sinking speed of organic matter via calcium carbonate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/genetics/iyac066
Abstract: Gametogenesis is an evolutionarily conserved developmental program whereby a diploid progenitor cell undergoes meiosis and cellular remodeling to differentiate into haploid gametes, the precursors for sexual reproduction. Even in the simple eukaryotic organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1758-2229.12527
Abstract: In this study, an aquaporin protein, Aqp1, in Cryptococcus neoformans, which can lead either saprobic or parasitic lifestyles and causes life-threatening fungal meningitis was identified and characterized. AQP1 expression was rapidly induced (via the HOG… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0201507
Abstract: Organismal fitness is relevant in many contexts in biology. The most meaningful experimental measure of fitness is competitive fitness, when two or more entities (e.g., genotypes) are allowed to compete directly. In theory, competitive fitness… read more here.

DOI: 10.26508/lsa.202201675
Abstract: Many egg-laying species lower fecundity when yolk is in short supply, but not C. elegans. They still produce abundant offspring, yet of decreased quality. Oviparous animals support reproduction via the incorporation of yolk as a… read more here.
