Entanglement in living systems

T. C. Day, A. Zamani-Dahaj, G. O. Bozdag, A. J. Burnetti, E. P. Bingham, P. L. Conlin, W. C. Ratcliff, P. J. Yunker

This study shows that growth in living systems facilitates entanglement across a broad range of geometries, unlike non-living materials where entanglement is geometry-sensitive.

Division of labor promotes the entrenchment of multicellularity

P. L. Conlin, H. J. Goldsby, E. Libby, K. G. Skocelas, W. C. Ratcliff, C. Ofria, B. Kerr

This study shows that division of labor in digital multicells stabilizes multicellularity by increasing fitness compared to unicellular revertants.

Evolutionary consequences of nascent multicellular life cycles

J. T. Pentz, K. MacGillivray, J. G. DuBose, P. L. Conlin, E. Reinhardt, E. Libby, W. C. Ratcliff

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.

De novo evolution of macroscopic multicellularity

G. O. Bozdag, S. A. Zamani-Dahaj, T. C. Day, P. C. Kahn, A. J. Burnetti, D. T. Lac, K. Tong, P. L. Conlin, A. H. Balwani, E. L. Dyer, P. J. Yunker, W. C. Ratcliff

This study shows how snowflake yeast evolved macroscopic multicellularity under anaerobic conditions through biophysical adaptations, while remaining microscopic under low oxygen conditions.
