Bacteriophages (phages) are often described as obligate predators of their bacterial hosts,
and phage predation is one of the leading forces controlling the density and distribution of …

In current plant disease control, the divergence from chemical pesticide use has been fueled
by the public concern about toxicity and environmental impact of these products, the …

Bacteria–phage coevolution, the reciprocal evolution between bacterial hosts and the
phages that infect them, is an important driver of ecological and evolutionary processes in …

Bacteria and their viral predators (bacteriophages) are locked in a constant battle. In order to
proliferate in phage-rich environments, bacteria have an impressive arsenal of defence …

The evolutionary arms race between phages and bacteria, where bacteria evolve resistance
to phages and phages retaliate with resistance-countering mutations, is a major driving force …

Studying the coevolutionary dynamics between bacteria and the bacteriophage viruses that
infect them is critical to understanding both microbial diversity and ecosystem functioning …

Bacteria have a range of distinct immune strategies that provide protection against
bacteriophage (phage) infections. While much has been learned about the mechanism of …

Species in the genus Pseudomonas thrive in a diverse set of ecological niches and include
crucial pathogens, such as the human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa and the plant …

At a glance, most species seem adapted to the environment in which they live. Yet species
relentlessly evolve, and populations within species evolve in different ways. Evolution, as it …

Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 635–642 Abstract Host–parasite coevolution is a key driver of
biological diversity and parasite virulence, but its effects depend on the nature of …
