Excited to share a sparkly new paper from our lab! We show how spatial refuges can facilitate evolutionary rescue using experimental evolution with P. fluorescens doi.org/10.1098/rspb...
Nutrient-rich spatial refuges buffer against extinction and promote evolutionary rescue in evolving microbial populations | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
Microbial populations are often exposed to long-term abiotic disturbances, which can
reduce population viability and cause local extinction. Eco-evolutionary theory suggests
that spatial refuges can f...

New preprint - we show that spatial refuges can facilitate evolutionary rescue to salt stress only when nutrient levels are high, but refuges can also constrain adaptations due to trade-offs associated with motility - with @siderophile.bsky.social, @jpjhall.bsky.social + more doi.org/10.1101/2023...

New preprint from the lab - we show spatial refuges are important for salt adaption, but refuges also constrain environmental adaptation because of trade-offs associated with motility - with @jpjhall.bsky.social plus lots of folks not on the "better" site just yet! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Spatial refuges and nutrient acquisition predict the outcome of evolutionary rescue in evolving micr...
