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

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.

Experimental evolution of evolvability
Evolvability—the capacity to generate adaptive variation—is a trait that can itself evolve through natural selection. However, the idea that mutation can become biased toward adaptive outcomes remains...
