The influence of long-term nitrogen fertilization on symbiosis and metabolism in the legume-rhizobium mutualism
… to determine the degree to which variation in partner quality is attributable to phylogenetic relationships among strains versus recent genetic changes in response to N-fertilization. I found evidence of distinct evolutionary relationships between chromosomal and pSym genes, and broad …

Ecological genomics of mutualism decline in nitrogen-fixing bacteria
Mutualisms, cooperative partnerships between species, are among the most prevalent and economically important biological interactions. The fitness benefits of mutualism are well-known to depend on the context in which the interaction occurs, and recent evidence supports the hypothesis that …

The impact of mothers’ partner relationship quality and maternal parenting on school-age children’s relationships with peers
… study examined the longitudinal effects of the partner relationship quality on parenting behaviors and school-age children’s peer relationships. National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) archival data were used to examine parenting behaviors as a mediator between the …

Indirect genetic effects of rhizobium symbiosis plasmid on legume-grass dynamics
… four distinct clades of pSyms that control partner quality variation in a natural population of Rhizobium. If legumes facilitate grass productivity, then these facilitative effects of clovers on grasses might be heighted when clovers are associated with higher quality rhizobium. To …
