Abstract excerpt
During the emergence of new host-microbe symbioses, microbial fitness results from the ability to complete the different steps of symbiotic life cycles, where each step imposes specific selective pressures. However, the relative contribution of these different selective pressures to the adaptive trajectories of microbial symbionts is still poorly known. Here, we characterized the dynamics of phenotypic adaptation...
