What would happen if a selection experiment was performed on thousands of communities of microbes based on some community-level function? Researchers from ESPCI Paris-PSL, College de France, and ENS-PSL used a theoretical approach to show that not only is this feasible, but that community-level heredity can arise from the evolution of interactions among microbes. The results have been published in eLife.
