Microbiomes occupy a range of niches and, in addition to having diverse compositions, they
have varied functional roles that have an impact on agriculture, environmental sciences, and …

The concept of eco-evolutionary (eco-evo) dynamics, stating that ecological and
evolutionary processes occur at similar time scales and influence each other, has …

The gut microbiome provides the host access to otherwise indigestible nutrients, which are
often further metabolized by the microbiome into bioactive components. The gut microbiome …

Gut microbiota can evolve within their hosts on human-relevant timescales, but little is
known about how these changes influence (or are influenced by) the composition of their …

Microbial communities can self-assemble into highly diverse states with predictable
statistical properties. However, these initial states can be disrupted by rapid evolution of the …

All species host a rich community of microbes. This microbiome is dynamic, and displays
seasonal, daily, and even hourly changes, but also needs to be resilient to fulfill important …

The structure and diversity of microbial communities are intrinsically hierarchical due to the
shared evolutionary history of their constituents. This history is typically captured through …

The mammalian mouth is colonized by complex microbial communities, adapted to specific
niches, and in homeostasis with the host. Individual microbes interact metabolically and rely …

While the human gut microbiome has been intensely studied, we have yet to obtain a
sufficient understanding of the genetic diversity that it harbors. Research efforts have …

Microbial evolution within polymicrobial communities is a complex process. Here, we report
within-species diversification within multispecies microbial communities during experimental …
