Bacteria already killed by a host's immune response make it harder to handle those still alive. The same phenomenon might also help in tuning the immune response and decreasing the costs of the pathogen.

Excited to share our new paper in which we test how competition alters adaptation at a warming range edge @science.org
We find that competition can increase adaptation to warming when there is a shared evolutionary response to both biotic and abiotic drivers of selection:

Most predictions of whether populations will adapt to warming range edges ignore species interactions. We experimentally tested whether range-edge populations can adapt to warming within a competitive...

Riddell uncovers that salamanders from different elevations achieve similar plastic responses through distinct molecular mechanisms, offering new insight into how populations may respond (or fail to respond) to environmental change.
