De novo origin of multicellularity in response to predation

M. D. Herron, J. M. Borin, J. C. Boswell, J. Walker, I.-C. K. Chen, C. A. Knox, M. Boyd, F. Rosenzweig, W. C. Ratcliff

This study shows that predation can drive the evolution of multicellularity in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, with two populations developing multicellular structures that enhance survival against the predator Paramecium tetraurelia.

Motility in multicellular Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

M. Boyd, M. D. Herron, F. Rosenzweig

This study investigates motility in newly evolved multicellular strains of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and finds they lack directional movement despite functional flagella.
