Abstract. Evolution is defined as the change in allele frequency over time as a result of either neutral processes, such as genetic drift, or as an adaptiv

Processes that occur after death have not received the same level of attention as the mechanisms of life. In this study, the authors show that bacteria have potentially evolved an altruistic trait to auto-degrade after death, thus permitting population nutrient recycling.

Abstract. Studies of microbial interactions often emphasize interactions with large, easily measurable growth differences and short-term ecological outcome

A three-part Nature Podcast series explores the importance of scientific naming conventions — and talks to researchers looking at how to make them more inclusive.
