One key mechanism by which coevolution promotes the emergence of these phenomena is by causing fitness landscapes to fluctuate, inducing continual evolutionary change, and causing exploration of new adaptations. For this talk, I will discuss several experimental studies on bacteria and phages that demonstrate the role coevolution plays in driving the evolution of key innovations, speciation, and the formation of complex ecological networks. The studies include quantification of how fitness landscapes change during coevolution by leveraging high-throughput gene editing-phenotyping technologies.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003ECoevolution between phage and bacteria drives the evolution of key innovations, new species, and biological complexity\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Biological Sciences Seminar"}],"uid":"28099","created_gmt":"2023-04-06 21:23:56","changed_gmt":"2023-04-06 21:36:08","author":"Michele Yager","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2023-04-20T11:00:14-04:00","event_time_end":"2023-04-20T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2023-04-20T12:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2023-04-20 15:00:14","gmt_time_end":"2023-04-20 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2023-04-20 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Roger A. and Helen B Krone Engineered Biosystems Building, 950 Atlantic Drive, Atlanta, GA  30032, Room 1005","extras":[],"hg_media":{"670473":{"id":"670473","type":"image","title":"Justin Meyer Biology profile picture(1).jpg","body":null,"created":"1680816530","gmt_created":"2023-04-06 21:28:50","changed":"1680816530","gmt_changed":"2023-04-06 21:28:50","alt":"Justin Meyer Biology profile picture","file":{"fid":"253335","name":"Justin Meyer Biology profile picture(1).jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/2023\/04\/06\/Justin%20Meyer%20Biology%20profile%20picture%281%29.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/2023\/04\/06\/Justin%20Meyer%20Biology%20profile%20picture%281%29.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":40382,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/2023\/04\/06\/Justin%20Meyer%20Biology%20profile%20picture%281%29.jpg?itok=V-xWZbX4"}}},"media_ids":["670473"],"groups":[{"id":"1275","name":"School of Biological Sciences"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"188689","name":"Biological Sciences Seminar"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"177814","name":"Postdoc"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EHost: Dr. Joshua Weitz\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
