The paper shows that spatial structure in host populations drives the evolution of parasites into host defense systems through the emergence of hyperparasites.

The paper uses a mathematical model to show how phage lifecycle dynamics and spatial structure promote the association of accessory genes with prophages, explaining their evolutionary advantage over plasmids.

This paper presents an eco-evolutionary model showing that Black Queen dynamics can lead to either distributed or centralized common good production, depending on the interaction range among ecotypes.

The paper investigates how environmental and competitive factors influence mutation frequencies in Streptomyces coelicolor colonies, showing that these frequencies are dynamic and responsive to the competitive environment.

REPORTH identifies orthologous positions of repetitive sequences across bacterial genomes to study their evolutionary dynamics.
