Hidden paths to endless forms most wonderful: Ecology latently shapes evolution of multicellular development in predatory bacteria

M. La Fortezza, O. Rendueles, H. Keller, G. J. Velicer

This study shows that ecological factors like surface stiffness and prey identity latently shape developmental traits in M. xanthus, affecting plasticity and canalization of multicellular development.
