Lichen symbiosis does not impose a uniform genomic syndrome on algae
2026-07-27
Abstract excerpt
Symbiosis has lasting effects on the genomic evolution of interacting organisms. Shifting niches and selection intensities are well-documented drivers of adaptive evolution, but nonadaptive evolution is an equally important, if less conspicuous, dimension of symbiont genome evolution. Through a reduction in effective population size (Ne), symbiosis can reduce the efficacy of natural selection in symbionts; however...
