Using a 4 species community (2bacteria+2phages), we tested how coevolution infuences whether viral diversity is maintained in communities. 1/2

New preprint from @Foneslab & Sarah Gurr Lab - nice to have the fantastic work of @williamkay finally getting out there! #Zymoseptoria blastospores survive a shockingly long time w/o any external nutrients & can infect seedlings even after 7 weeks in soil doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

Peer-reviewed version of our collaboration led by Tom Richards (@AncestralState), Vicky Attah, Yufeng "Francis" Fang David Milner Guy Leonard Xia Yan Heitman lab at Duke - An ancestral HGT from fungi to oomycetes has evolved by gene duplication & neo-functionalization? pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Parallel ecological and evolutionary responses to selection in a natural bacterial community pnas.org/doi/abs/10.107…

Microbial secretions can be costly to produce and exploited by others. Lindsay et al. use experimentally evolved yeasts to show that, in spite of exploitative non-producers, overproducers are maintained in the population, supporting public goods production nature.com/articles/s4146…

As a member of the #mBio Early-Career Editorial Board, Dr. Richard Lindsay has completed 4 highly ranked reviews so far. Thank you, Richard Lindsay! We love to see the effects of the ECB program in action. Learn more about the program here: journals.asm.org/journal/mbio/e…… ASM

Shout out to @williamkay for all his hard work on this!
