Evolutionary ecology theory — microbial population structure

TLDR
In this paper, the authors discuss endogenous and exogenous drivers of population structure in microbes and how the population structure can affect evolutionary dynamics and vice versa, and a particular interesting case arises when also this exogenous structure experiences feedbacks from the microbial population.About:

Evolutionary dynamics in structured populations
TL;DR: The recent advances in evolutionary game dynamics are reviewed with a particular emphasis on stochastic approaches in finite sized and structured populations, and simple, fundamental laws that determine how natural selection chooses between competing strategies are given.
A Two-dimensional Growth Process
TL;DR: Examination of properties of populations of cells, in particular, properties relating to the architecture of cell colonies finds little evidence available but it is to be anticipated that, on a cellular level, there would be little more correlation between twins than between any other members of a given species population.

High taxonomic variability despite stable functional structure across microbial communities

TL;DR: It is found that all of the bromeliads exhibited remarkably similar functional community structures, but that the taxonomic composition within individual functional groups was highly variable, and that non-neutral processes at least partly shaped the composition within functional groups and were more important than spatial dispersal limitation and demographic drift.

Life is Physics: Evolution as a Collective Phenomenon Far From Equilibrium
Nigel Goldenfeld,Carl R. Woese +1 more
TL;DR: This review focuses on evolution as a problem in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, where the key dynamical modes are collective, as evidenced by the plethora of mobile genetic elements whose role in shaping evolution has been revealed by modern genomic surveys.

Spatially realistic theory of metapopulation ecology
TL;DR: This article describes the application of the spatially realistic metapopulation theory to real meetapopulations living in highly fragmented landscapes and discusses the principal messages for population ecology and conservation biology, and places this theory into a broader context of other approaches to spatial ecology.
