Networks & evolution, pt 2: Eric Bapteste. Network thinking to expand our scope of evolutionary explanations. #ISHPSSB19
Eric Bapteste: microbial evolution – complex communities with irreversible metabolic dependencies and widespread lateral gene transfer indicated reticulate patterns of mosaic evolution. #ISHPSSB19
Eric Bapteste: host-microbe interactions also follow reticulate evolutionary patterns. #ISHPSSB19
Tree- and network-based explanations address different questions – genealogical versus systemic perspectives. Trees focus on relatedness, networks on organisation. #ISHPSSB19
What would be a practical approach to inferring interlinked patterns of evolutionary processes? Eric Bapteste suggests comparative analysis of interaction patterns in evolving networks. #ISHPSSB19
