The fitness cost of horizontally transferred and mutational antimicrobial resistance in Escherichia coli

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacteria implies a tradeoff between the benefit of resistance under antimicrobial selection pressure and the incurred fitness cost in the absence of antimicrobials.

Hybrid Incompatibilities and Transgressive Gene Expression Between Two Closely Related Subspecies of Drosophila

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2020
Genome-wide assays of expression between species and their hybrids have identified genes that become either over- or underexpressed relative to the parental species (i.e., transgressive).

Natural variants suppress mutations in hundreds of essential genes

open access: yesMolecular Systems Biology, 2021
The consequence of a mutation can be influenced by the context in which it operates. For example, loss of gene function may be tolerated in one genetic background, and lethal in another.

Mobile Compensatory Mutations Promote Plasmid Survival

open access: yesmSystems, 2019
The global dissemination of plasmids encoding antibiotic resistance represents an urgent issue for human health and society. While the fitness costs for host cells associated with plasmid acquisition are expected to limit plasmid dissemination in the ...

Sexual Selection Does Not Increase the Rate of Compensatory Adaptation to a Mutation Influencing a Secondary Sexual Trait in Drosophila melanogaster

open access: yesG3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020
Theoretical work predicts that sexual selection can enhance natural selection, increasing the rate of adaptation to new environments and helping purge harmful mutations.

Resource allocation, hyperphagia and compensatory growth [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Organisms often shown enhanced growth during recovery from starvation, and can even overtake continuously fed conspecifics (overcompensation). In an earlier paper (Ecology 84, 2777-2787), we studied the relative role played by hyperphagia and resource ...

Quantitative morphology of renal cortical structures during compensatory hypertrophy [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
The compensatory hypertrophy in different renal cortical structures was studied in rats 10 and 21 days after unilateral nephrectomy (UNX). Quantitative morphological/stereological analysis revealed significant increases in total renal cortical volume ...

Compensatory adaptation and diversification subsequent to evolutionary rescue in a model adaptive radiation

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Biological populations may survive lethal environmental stress through evolutionary rescue. The rescued populations typically suffer a reduction in growth performance and harbor very low genetic diversity compared with their parental populations.

Multidrug-resistant bacteria compensate for the epistasis between resistances. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2017
Mutations conferring resistance to antibiotics are typically costly in the absence of the drug, but bacteria can reduce this cost by acquiring compensatory mutations.
