Oxygen-binding proteins aid oxygen diffusion to enhance fitness of a yeast model of multicellularity
Wong W, Bravo P, Yunker P, Ratcliff W, Burnetti A
PLoS Biol
. 2025 Jan;
23(1):e3002975.
PMID: 39883703
Oxygen availability is a key factor in the evolution of multicellularity, as larger and more sophisticated organisms often require mechanisms allowing efficient oxygen delivery to their tissues. One such mechanism...

Pokhrel A, Steinbach G, Krueger A, Day T, Tijani J, Bravo P, et al.
Nat Phys
. 2025 Jan;
20(9):1509-1517.
PMID: 39866329
Bacteria often attach to surfaces and grow densely-packed communities called biofilms. As biofilms grow, they expand across the surface, increasing their surface area and access to nutrients. Thus, the overall...

Day T, Zamani-Dahaj S, Bozdag G, Burnetti A, Bingham E, Conlin P, et al.
Phys Rev X
. 2024 Oct;
14(1).
PMID: 39479526
Many organisms exhibit branching morphologies that twist around each other and become entangled. Entanglement occurs when different objects interlock with each other, creating complex and often irreversible configurations. This physical...

Bingham E, Yunker P
Curr Biol
. 2024 Sep;
34(17):R816-R818.
PMID: 39255763
Can simple groups of cells maintain reproductive division of labor? Or will stochastic fracturing produce groups with a single cell type? A new study uses models and experiments to show...

Pineau R, Libby E, Demory D, Lac D, Day T, Bravo P, et al.
Nat Ecol Evol
. 2024 Mar;
8(5):1010-1020.
PMID: 38486107
The evolution of multicellular life spurred evolutionary radiations, fundamentally changing many of Earth's ecosystems. Yet little is known about how early steps in the evolution of multicellularity affect eco-evolutionary dynamics....

Copeland R, Zhang C, Hammer B, Yunker P
PLoS Comput Biol
. 2024 Jan;
20(1):e1011807.
PMID: 38277405
Surface attached communities of microbes grow in a wide variety of environments. Often, the size of these microbial community is constrained by their physical surroundings. However, little is known about...

Genes (Basel)
. 2023 Aug;
14(8).
PMID: 37628687
The major transitions in evolution include events and processes that result in the emergence of new levels of biological individuality. For collectives to undergo Darwinian evolution, their traits must be...

Bozdag G, Zamani-Dahaj S, Day T, Kahn P, Burnetti A, Lac D, et al.
Nature
. 2023 May;
617(7962):747-754.
PMID: 37165189
While early multicellular lineages necessarily started out as relatively simple groups of cells, little is known about how they became Darwinian entities capable of sustained multicellular evolution. Here we investigate...
