Genetic Basis of Exploiting Ecological Opportunity During the Long-Term Diversification of a Bacterial Population.

Abstract excerpt

Adaptive diversification is an essential evolutionary process, one that produces phenotypic innovations including the colonization of available ecological niches. Bacteria can diverge in sympatry when ecological opportunities allow, but the underlying genetic mechanisms are often unknown. Perhaps, the longest-lasting adaptive diversification seen in the laboratory occurred during the long-term evolution...
