This study experimentally evolved E. coli populations under feast/famine cycles, finding high mutational parallelism and trade-offs between growth and survival traits.

This study evolves E. coli populations with different mutation rates in a complex medium for 900 days and finds that higher mutation rates do not significantly increase fitness improvement despite faster genome evolution.

This study shows that intermediate starvation periods in E. coli lead to distinct phenotypes not predicted by extremes, suggesting non-monotonic evolutionary forces.
