The paper shows that hybridization drives genomic diversity in a cyanobacterial population despite ecological barriers, challenging the idea that such barriers prevent long-term genomic mixing.

This paper shows that spatiotemporal ecological chaos allows indefinite diversification of bacterial strains without niches or tradeoffs.

The paper shows that Red Queen dynamics emerge from organismic complexity and environmental feedback, with evolution perpetually wandering without converging to fitness maxima.

This paper extends the traveling wave framework to intermediate regimes of mutation fitness effects, deriving new expressions for fixation probabilities and site frequency spectra.

The paper estimates genome-wide driver mutation rates in healthy tissues using synonymous passenger mutations and finds many driver mutations occur outside of known cancer genes in blood but not in oesophagus.

This paper introduces high-dimensional fitness landscapes with distance-dependent statistics to study adaptive walks and evolutionary dynamics, showing that past evolution significantly conditions future adaptive potential.

The paper shows that spatio-temporal chaos can stabilize extensive microbial diversity without niche differences, using generalized Lotka-Volterra models with anti-symmetric interactions.

The paper presents a model showing how evolutionary history influences tradeoff strength and future evolution in changing environments.

This paper studies adaptation in large populations with rare sex, finding that adaptation speed depends on log(Nr)/log(N) and reveals spontaneous oscillations between mutation and reassortment phases.

This study investigates genetic diversity dynamics in clonally evolving populations, finding predictable early increases followed by a diversity crash due to highly-fit double mutants.
