    Tradeoff breaking as a model of evolutionary transitions in individuality and limits of the fitness-decoupling metaphor

    Pierrick Bourrat, Guilhem Doulcier ... Katrin Hammerschmidt
    A new model describes evolutionary transitions in individuality in terms of tradeoff and tradeoff-breaking events as opposed to changes in the nature of fitness.

    Joint inference of evolutionary transitions to self-fertilization and demographic history using whole-genome sequences

    Stefan Strütt, Thibaut Sellinger ... Stefan Laurent
    Transitions from outcrossing to selfing, a major shift in mating systems, create a specific signature in intra-specific genetic polymorphisms, which can be used to infer the demographic history of populations and acquire valuable insights about the evolution of recombination rates.

    Evolutionary transitions between beneficial and phytopathogenic Rhodococcus challenge disease management

    Elizabeth A Savory, Skylar L Fuller ... Jeff H Chang
    The horizontal acquisition of virulence plasmids is potentiated by production practices in plant nurseries and is sufficient to transition Rhodococcus from being beneficial to being pathogenic.

    The evolution of distributed sensing and collective computation in animal populations

    Andrew M Hein, Sara Brin Rosenthal ... Iain D Couzin
    A computational model shows that natural selection can cause populations to evolve a distinctive population-level phenotype: the ability to transition between collective states in response to the environment.

    Plant Pathology: Plasmid-powered evolutionary transitions

    Ryan A Melnyk, Cara H Haney
    The acquisition of a virulence plasmid is sufficient to turn a beneficial strain of Rhodococcus bacteria into a pathogen.

    Correlated evolution between repertoire size and song plasticity predicts that sexual selection on song promotes open-ended learning

    Cristina M Robinson, Kate T Snyder, Nicole Creanza
    A longer birdsong-learning window evolves in response to sexual selection for song complexity and is associated with faster evolution of song performance characteristics.

    Eco-evolutionary dynamics of nested Darwinian populations and the emergence of community-level heredity

    Guilhem Doulcier, Amaury Lambert ... Paul B Rainey
    Artificial selection on communities drives the evolution of interactions and establishes community-level inheritance.
