Heterotrophic bacteria utilize organic carbon as a source of energy and material for growth. The balanced allocation of carbon between these two processes, termed growth efficiency, is a key physiolog...

The 2026 Gordon Research Conference on Function of Evolving Systems will be held in Waterville Valley, New Hampshire. Apply today to reserve your spot.

Quitting projects in science is hard, but we should be doing a lot more of it.

npj Antimicrobials and Resistance - Predicting drug inactivation by changes in bacterial growth dynamics

Salary Range: $140,000 – $180,000 a year The University of Chicago’s Department of Ecology & Evolution in the Biological Sciences Division and the Climate Systems Engineering Initiative (CSEi) are sea...

**In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings.** Here in Chicago we know how to rise up, fight back, and support each other. It is more important than ever that we do that together on October 18t...

Microbiomes often show similar functional profiles despite highly variable taxonomic compositions, a phenomenon attributed to “functional redundancy” …

Woodstock Bio2 + Night Science aimed to encourage collaborations through creativity. The walk-on music for presentations was fun, too.

Research from UChicago shows how environmental changes lead to predictable responses in soil microbiome metabolism.

University of California, Irvine is hiring. Apply now!

Experimental perturbation of soil pH leads to a generalizable model of the soil microcosm comprising three functional regimes with distinct mechanisms linking environmental change to metabolite dynamics.

Many microorganisms are auxotrophic, that is, unable to synthesize the compounds they require for growth. Here, Ramoneda et al. predict amino acid biosynthetic capabilities of over 26,000 bacterial ge...

In natural habitats, nutrient availability limits bacterial growth. We discovered that bacteria can overcome this limitation by acquiring nutrients by lysing neighboring cells through contact-dependen...

Recent papers by physicists, chemists, and geologists lay claim to the discovery of new principles of evolution that have somehow eluded over a cen...

The purpose of these awards is to provide support for students entering U.S.-based Ph.D. programs with a plan to perform research in ecology and evolution. While we will consider all projects in ecolo...

Changes seen as a response to presidential directives on what research to fund

The American Physical Society is a nonprofit membership organization working to advance physics by fostering a vibrant, inclusive, and global community dedicated to science and society.

The metabolic activity of microbial communities is essential for host and environmental health, influencing processes from immune regulation to bioremediation. Given this importance, the rational desi...
