Trading-off and trading-up in the world of bacteria-phage evolution.

Current biology : CB - 5 Oct 2020

Burmeister Alita R, Turner Paul E

Abstract excerpt

In 1979, Richard Law introduced the conceptual idea of the 'Darwinian Demon': an organism that simultaneously maximizes all fitness traits [1]. Such an organism would dominate an ecosystem, displacing any competitors and collapsing biodiversity to only a singular species. Surveying the tremendous species diversity of bacteria in the microbial world reveals that Darwinian Demons do not exist on Earth, and the...
