Massive undertaking with @teppo-h.bsky.social and others out. We studied 4 years (!!!) of synthetic 23 microbial species community evolution with/without antibiotic. Resistance mutations occurring over years led to stepwise restructuring and ultimately recovery of undisturbed community composition.

Universal bacterial clade dynamics dominate under predation despite altered phenotypes and mutation targets
Recent studies have revealed bacterial genome-wide evolution to be complex and dynamic even in a constant environment. The evolution is characterized by the emergence of new clades competing or tempor...

Check out our new article in @natureecoevo.bsky.social Research Briefing: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Article: www.nature.com/articles/s41... We showed that antibiotic pre-exposure of abundant species protected entire communities and metacommunities from change during antibiotic exposure
Pre-exposure to disturbance enhances species resilience and protects from change - Nature Ecology & Evolution
In a serial passage experiment with a 23-species model microbial community, we found that higher dispersal led to stronger spread of the effects of antibiotic disturbance across a metacommunity. This ...
