Quantifying the local adaptive landscape of a nascent bacterial community

Fitness landscapes largely shape the dynamics of evolution, but it is unclear how they shift upon ecological diversification. By engineering genome-wide knockout libraries of a nascent bacterial community, Ascensao et al. show how ecological and epistatic patterns combine to shape adaptive landscape...
