Massive undertaking with @teppo-h.bsky.social and others out. We studied 4 years (!!!) of synthetic 23 microbial species community evolution with/without antibiotic. Resistance mutations occurring over years led to stepwise restructuring and ultimately recovery of undisturbed community composition.

Pre-exposure to disturbance enhances species resilience and protects from change - Nature Ecology & Evolution In a serial passage experiment with a 23-species model microbial community, we found that higher dispersal led to stronger spread of the effects of antibiotic disturbance across a metacommunity. This ...

Check out our new article in @natureecoevo.bsky.social Research Briefing: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Article: www.nature.com/articles/s41... We showed that antibiotic pre-exposure of abundant species protected entire communities and metacommunities from change during antibiotic exposure

Kiitos @atso.bsky.social palautteesta. Olen aikamoinen someluddiitti, joten näin tämän vasta nyt. Reaalipolitiikka, rationaalinen yhteiskuntasuunnittelu ja tekninen osaaminen pitää kytkeä syvään keskusteluun hyvästä elämästä.
