The contribution of arms race dynamics to plant–pathogen coevolution has been called into
question by the presence of balanced polymorphisms in resistance genes of Arabidopsis …

The evolution of complex traits is hypothesized to occur incrementally. Identifying the
transitions that lead to extant complex traits may provide a better understanding of the …

A widely accepted species concept for bacteria has yet to be established. As a result,
species designations are inconsistently applied and tied to what can be considered arbitrary …

The role that reticulate evolution (ie, via lateral transfer, viral recombination and/or
introgressive hybridization) has played in the origin and adaptation of individual taxa and …

Phages, like many parasites, tend to have small genomes and may encode autonomous
functions or manipulate those of their hosts'. Recombination functions are essential for …

Two bla OKP subgroups were found, diverging by 4.2%. Subgroups bla OKP-A (10 enzyme
variants, pIs from 7.1 to 8.3) and bla OKP-B (11 variants, pI 7.1) showed similar antibiotic …

Reticulate Evolution and Humans is the first book to describe the effect of genetic exchange
on the origin and evolution of our own species as well as those species with which we have …

Current approaches to studying the evolution of biodiversity differ in their treatment of
species and higher level diversity patterns. Species are regarded as the fundamental …

Background Members of the Bacillus pumilus group (abbreviated as the Bp group) are quite
diverse and ubiquitous in marine environments, but little is known about correlation with …

Two bacterial strains were screened for in vitro antagonism against tomato wilt pathogen
Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici. They were assessed for siderophore production …
