This study evolves yeast populations to test if clonal development facilitates multicellular adaptation, finding that clonal yeast shifted fitness to group-level benefits while floc yeast retained cell-level selection.

This study forecasts evolutionary outcomes in Pseudomonas protegens by applying models from Pseudomonas fluorescens, showing similar mutation patterns but differences in fitness and mutational hotspots.

This study compares clonal and aggregative multicellular development in yeast, finding aggregation provides ecological advantages but is exploited by clonal cells in competition.
