Generalist species drive microbial dispersion and evolution

Microbes adapting to broad and specialized ranges of environments (generalists and specialists) have distinct ecological roles and properties. Via meta-analysis of community sequencing datasets, Sriswasdi et al. show that generalists have higher speciation rates and persistence advantage over specia...
