Evolutionary Biologist studying the coevolutionary dynamics underpinning generalist, species-rich mutualism.
Amazing work by amazing people!
Delighted to see the first version of our new ELife paper. A collaboration with Levi Morran, we show how an intact antibiotic resistance gene (mecA) changes the course of S. aureus evolution on a new host. Kudos to Michelle Su and Kim Hoang for making this happen.

Amazing work by amazing people!
Proud of the work in this new preprint from my postdoctoral research.
We used experimental evolution of mutualistically cross-feeding yeast to test how generalized interactions alter benefit evolution and opportunities for coevolution.

Partner fidelity and coevolution: Useful but not required for rapidly increased mutualistic benefits
Evolutionary theory predicts that specialization between mutualistic partners is beneficial, limiting conflict and increasing the opportunity to evolve cooperative benefits through sustained reciproca...
