Ancestral recombination graphs (ARGs) represent the coalescent history at every locus in the genome, subject to mutation and recombination. Modelling viruses using the coalescent with recombination re...

The fundamental unit of spatial ecology is a species range: the geographical area that it occupies. Species ranges are delineated by range edges (also known as boundaries or limits). Why range edg...

Many animals benefit from microbial symbionts that aid digestion, supply essential nutrients, or provide defense. When this dependence becomes obligate, as in gutless marine oligochaetes that have los...

Abstract. Plasmids play a key role in the spread of virulence and antimicrobial resistance genes to new genetic backgrounds. Genetic variation in the trans

Heritable microbes profoundly influence insect biology, yet the traits they confer often evolve rapidly and differ among closely related symbiont s...

I have some exciting news (again!). I got money from the region (Occitanie) to hire a postdoc (and later an engineer / technician) to work on drug resistance evolution in malaria (P. faciparum) and…

Bacteriophages (phages), viruses that parasitize bacteria, hold tremendous potential as antimicrobial agents, microbiome modulators, and industrial biocontrol tools; yet clinical and environmental app...

An expert at the University of Copenhagen said his team had been sharing its research with the company’s A.I. model, Claude, and that its new finding matched their work.

Some readers are foxes, and some are hedgehogs. What kind of reader is AI, and how will that impact both the practice of science and the business of journal publishing?

The 2027 Gordon Research Seminar on Microbial Population Biology (GRS) will be held in Andover, New Hampshire. Apply today to reserve your spot.

Plasmids drive bacterial adaptation, but how their diversity arises has remained unclear. Here, they show that in Staphylococcus aureus, mobile genetic elements repeatedly fuse and delete plasmids, re...
