Understanding the evolution and subsequent maintenance of ecological diversity is a daunting task. Using a historical microbial evolution experiment, a new paper demonstrates the extent to which diversity can re-emerge in reduced communities and the traits through which rediversification occurs.
理解生态多样性的进化和随后的维持是一项艰巨的任务。通过一项历史微生物进化实验,一篇新论文展示了在减少的群落中多样性可以在多大程度上重新出现,以及通过哪些特征发生多样化。
