My latest article exploring the evolutionary ecology of plasmids was published in @plosbiology.org 🦠🦤🌳

PLOS Biology@plosbiology.org · 3w ago

Bacterial genomes are remarkably dynamic, shaped by horizontal transfer of plasmids that follow evolutionary trajectories of their own. This study uses eco-evolutionary perspectives to reveal how #plasmid communities are shaped and contribute to bacterial #evolution. 🧪 #AcademicSky plos.io/4gAJGlB

Plasmid eco-evolutionary sorting in action. Each dot represents a plasmid species in trait space (horizontal transfer rate on the x-axis, resistance level on the y-axis). Dot size reflects abundance; color indicates the community identity. After 1,000 generations, three distinct clusters of plasmid species have emerged: (i) high resistance level with low horizontal transfer rate, (ii) high horizontal transfer rate with low resistance level, and (iii) high horizontal transfer rate with high resistance level. This reflects an eco-evolutionary sorting driven by local stress regimes and connectivity across communities. Image credit: Rémi Tuffet.
