Social evolution: Kin preference in a social microbe
Natasha J. Mehdiabadi,Chandra N. Jack,Tiffany Talley Farnham,Thomas G. Platt,Thomas G. Platt,Sara E. Kalla,Gad Shaulsky,David C. Queller,Joan E. Strassmann +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the social amoeba Dictyostelium purpureum prefers to form groups with its own kin in situations where some individuals die to assist others, and should generally avoid the costs of chimaerism experienced by the related D. discoideum.

Microbial Inoculants: Silver Bullet or Microbial Jurassic Park?
TL;DR: Potential negative consequences of microbial invasions are outlined and a set of practices based on the four stages of invasion to prevent microbial inoculants from becoming invasive are described to stimulate discussion about best practices to proactively prevent microbialinvasions.

Structured growth and genetic drift raise relatedness in the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum
Neil J. Buttery,Chandra N. Jack,Boahemaa Adu-Oppong,Kate T. Snyder,Christopher R. L. Thompson,David C. Queller,Joan E. Strassmann +6 more
TL;DR: This study shows that relatedness can be significantly elevated before the social stage without a small founding population size or recognition mechanism.
Whose trait is it anyways? Coevolution of joint phenotypes and genetic architecture in mutualisms.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors develop a simulation model of a host-microbe mutualism to explore the evolution of a multi-genomic trait, and show that genome-wide association studies can map joint traits to loci in multiple genomes and describe how fitness conflict and fitness feedback generate different multigenomic architectures with distinct signals around segregating loci.

Segregate or cooperate- a study of the interaction between two species of Dictyostelium.
Chandra N. Jack,Julia G Ridgeway,Natasha J. Mehdiabadi,Natasha J. Mehdiabadi,Emily I. Jones,Emily I. Jones,Tracy A Edwards,David C. Queller,Joan E. Strassmann +8 more
TL;DR: Both species appear to favor clonality but can cooperate with each other to produce fruiting bodies, but both species here suffer a cost in producing fewer spores per fruiting body.
