Copyright 2015 Benjamin R. Gordon THE INFLUENCE OF LONG-TERM NITROGEN FERTILIZATION ON SYMBIOSIS AND METABOLISM IN THE LEGUME-RHIZOBIUM MUTUALISM BY
Understanding how mutualisms evolve in response to a changing environment will be critical for predicting the long-term impacts of global changes, such as increased nitrogen (N) deposition. Bacterial mutualists in particular might evolve quickly, thanks to short generation times and the potential for independent evolution of plasmids through recombination and/or horizontal gene transfer (HGT). ...
متن کاملExplaining mutualism variation: a new evolutionary paradox?
The paradox of mutualism is typically framed as the persistence of interspecific cooperation, despite the potential advantages of cheating. Thus, mutualism research has tended to focus on stabilizing mechanisms that prevent the invasion of low-quality partners. These mechanisms alone cannot explain the persistence of variation for partner quality observed in nature, leaving a large gap in our u...
متن کاملLife-history differences among coral reef sponges promote mutualism or exploitation of mutualism by influencing partner fidelity feedback.
Mutualism can be favored over exploitation of mutualism when interests of potential heterospecific partners are aligned so that individual organisms are beneficial to each others' continued growth, survival, and reproduction, that is, when exploitation of a particular partner individual is costly. A coral reef sponge system is particularly amenable to field experiments probing how costs of expl...
متن کاملCooperative Adaptation to Establishment of a Synthetic Bacterial Mutualism
To understand how two organisms that have not previously been in contact can establish mutualism, it is first necessary to examine temporal changes in their phenotypes during the establishment of mutualism. Instead of tracing back the history of known, well-established, natural mutualisms, we experimentally simulated the development of mutualism using two genetically-engineered auxotrophic stra...
متن کاملEcological genomics of mutualism decline in nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
Anthropogenic changes can influence mutualism evolution; however, the genomic regions underpinning mutualism that are most affected by environmental change are generally unknown, even in well-studied model mutualisms like the interaction between legumes and their nitrogen (N)-fixing rhizobia. Such genomic information can shed light on the agents and targets of selection maintaining cooperation ...
