Eco-evolutionary dynamics: The repeatability of diversification in an experimental microbial community

Curr Biol. 2024 Feb 26;34(4):R140-R143. doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2023.12.053.ABSTRACTUnderstanding the evolution and subsequent maintenance of ecological diversity is a daunting task. Using a historical microbial evolution experiment, a new paper demonstrates the extent to which diversity can re-emerge in reduced communities and the traits through which rediversification occurs.PMID:38412822 | DOI:10.1016/j.cub.2023.12.053
