Synthetic Symbiosis under Environmental Disturbances
mSystems, 2020 By virtue of complex ecologies, the behavior of mutualisms is challenging to study and nearly impossible to predict. However, laboratory engineered mutualistic systems facilitate a better understanding of their bare essentials.

An environment-sensitive synthetic microbial ecosystem. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Microbial ecosystems have been widely used in industrial production, but the inter-relationships of organisms within them haven't been completely clarified due to complex composition and structure of natural microbial ecosystems. So it is challenging for

Cellular heterogeneity results from indirect effects under metabolic tradeoffs [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 The emergence and maintenance of multicellularity requires the coexistence of diverse cellular populations displaying cooperative relationships. This enables long-term persistence of cellular consortia, particularly under environmental constraints that ...

Mutualistic interactions drive ecological niche convergence in a diverse butterfly community. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2008 Ecological communities are structured in part by evolutionary interactions among their members. A number of recent studies incorporating phylogenetics into community ecology have upheld the paradigm that competition drives ecological divergence among ...

Synthetic soil crusts against green-desert transitions: a spatial model [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 Semiarid ecosystems are threatened by global warming due to longer dehydration times and increasing soil degradation. Mounting evidence indicates that, given the current trends, drylands are likely to expand and possibly experience catastrophic shifts ...

Impact of spatial distribution on the development of mutualism in microbes
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014 The evolution of mutualism is one of the long-standing puzzles in evolutionary biology. Why would an individual contribute to the group at the expense of its own fitness?

Wolbachia: endosymbiont of onchocercid nematodes and their vectors
Parasites & Vectors, 2021 Background Wolbachia is an obligate intracellular maternally transmitted, gram-negative bacterium which forms a spectrum of endosymbiotic relationships from parasitism to obligatory mutualism in a wide range of arthropods and onchocercid nematodes ...

PLoS ONE, 2012 Although mutualism between ants and honeydew-producing hemipterans has been extensively recognized in ecosystem biology, however few attempts to test the hypothesis that mutualism between two alien species leads to the facilitation of the invasion ...
