Bacteria-Virus Arms Race Provides Rare Window into Rapid and Complex Evolution

Study co-authored by Biology Professor Joshua Weitz found intricate ecological networks emerge from simple beginnings that feature repeating patterns of evolutionary development.

As conceived by Charles Darwin in the 1800s, evolution is a slow, gradual process during which species adaptations ar
