1/7 🌿🌊 Two new papers out in Journal of Phycology with @antoniofloresmoya.bsky.social! A short detour from my usual work on experimental evolution and microbes — and back to macroalgae. Same big question: how do organisms respond to environmental change?

🧬 We’ve shared an open-access protocol for cost-effective, high-quality DNA extraction from cyanobacteria and microalgae. We hope it will be useful to the research community! Developed with @Raul_MontanezM. doi.org/10.17504/pro... #Cyanobacteria #Microalgae #DNAExtraction #Genomics #ProtocolsIO

Mutualism breakdown underpins evolutionary rescue in an obligate cross-feeding bacterial consortium - Nature Communications
Rapid genetic adaptation to environmental change, or evolutionary rescue, can be constrained by a less adaptable mutualistic partner. Here, the authors explore evolutionary rescue in an obligate mutua...

1/ In our new paper, we explored whether obligate mutualisms can survive abrupt stress via evolutionary rescue. We found that evolutionary rescue is possible—but it comes at the cost of mutualism. @jfriedman.bsky.social #microsky #evosky #mevosky

I just posted "Some Experiments Work, and Some Don't." It features this new paper from Paul Rainey's group, along with a *failed* experiment that Paul Sniegowski and I ran in the 1990s trying to test the same idea. telliamedrevisited.wordpress.com/2025/02/21/s...
