Bacteria–phage coevolution as a driver of ecological and evolutionary processes in microbial communities (2014, background): “This is in stark contrast to previous laboratory studies using the same system but run in nutrient-rich media broth (Brockhurst et al., 2003, 2007a, b).”
Life is Physics: Evolution as a Collective Phenomenon Far From Equilibrium (2010, background): “Horizontal transfer means that genes or other genetic materials are transmitted through a variety of non-hereditary mechanisms from one organism to another, and subsequently expressed, thus altering the behavior (phenotype) of the recipient.”
The multifarious effects of dispersal and gene flow on contemporary adaptation (2007, background): “For example, Brockhurst et al . (2003) demonstrated that an increase in dispersal of both the bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens and its parasitic bacteriophage increased the rate of antagonistic coevolution.”
