Loss of dispersal via ice nucleation activity constrains microbial evolution

2026-02-12

Abstract excerpt

The ability to disperse over long distances through the atmosphere is a common trait across the tree of life, facilitating resource access and increasing long-range gene flow. Loss of dispersal mechanisms, viz . flight, can occur in animals found on islands where documented phenotypic changes like loss of wingspan impedes longer distance travel to mate with the metapopulation. Bacteria also experience atmospheric...
