TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report the in vivo transcriptome of the entomopathogenic bacterium Yersinia entomophaga MH96, captured during initial, septicemic, and pre-cadaveric stages of intrahemocoelic infection in Galleria mellonella.
Ancient Darwinian replicators nested within eubacterial genomes
Frederic Bertels,Paul B. Rainey +1 more
TL;DR: REPINs are ancient Darwinian replicators that have evolved enduring, beneficial relationships, with eubacterial genomes that are expected to generate conflicts arising from the diverging effects of selection acting simultaneously on REPINs and host genomes.
Evolution: How the unicorn got its horn.
TL;DR: The three-step process Rich Lenski and colleagues unveil, in which potentiation makes a trait possible, actualization makes it manifest and refinement makes it effective, is likely to be typical of other biological revolutions such as the colonization of land by proto-tetrapods.

Analysis of an experimental transition in individuality challenges the need to assign traits to levels
TL;DR: It is argued that traits should not be assigned a priori to a hierarchical level, but may respond to selection at different levels depending on environmental conditions, as illustrated by an experiment in which groups of the bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens reproduced via life cycles involving soma- and germline-like phases.
erratum: The role of parasites in sympatric and allopatric host diversification
Angus Buckling,Paul B. Rainey +1 more
TL;DR: This corrects the article to show that the Higgs boson bacterium is a prokaryotic substance, not a “spatially aggregating substance”, which is a type of “plasmas” found in the fossil record.
