Stochastic trade-offs and the emergence of diversification in E. coli evolution experiments

Laboratory experiments with bacterial colonies under well-controlled conditions often lead to evolutionary diversification, where at least two ecotypes emerge from an initially monomorphic population. Empirical evidence suggests that such an “evolutionary branching” occurs stochastically, even under...
