MALEABLE RELATIONSHIPS. “Strong environmental pressures can also shape pathobiomes, and turn otherwise pathological interactions into mutualistic relationships.” https://lnkd.in/gEfVGaC View in LinkedIn

BIOLOGICAL TABOO. "In terms of the driving force, it is tempting to consider dioecy as simply the most extreme mechanism which avoids the deleterious effects of inbreeding." https://lnkd.in/gb3zS32 View in LinkedIn

GLOBALIZATION AND CROSSING. “The current predominantly poultry-associated clones have most probably emerged after a human-to-poultry host jump, estimated to have occurred ~50 years ago, and which rapidly disseminated worldwide thanks to the globalization of the poultry industry.” https://lnkd.in/gEfVGaC View in LinkedIn

BARRIER TO SELF-POLLINATION. "Dioecy prevents intra-individual self-pollination absolutely, while monoecy merely prevents intra-flower self-pollination but not intra-individual self-pollination." https://lnkd.in/gb3zS32 View in LinkedIn

CROSSING EXAMPLE. “S. aureus transmission from human to bovine hosts was thought to have occurred ~5500 years ago, during the Neolithic revolution and the expansion of agriculture throughout the Old World.” https://lnkd.in/gEfVGaC View in LinkedIn

"DIOECIOUS PLANTS have male (staminate) flowers on one plant, and female (pistillate) flowers on another plant. Some of these plants are polygamo-dioecious, with some male flowers on female plants and some female flowers on male plants." https://lnkd.in/g9GqmRH View in LinkedIn

CROSSING THE SPECIES BARRIER. “Comparative genomics clearly links genomic- and phenotypic-characteristics with host adaptation, and reveals that major animal-associated clones most likely emerged after a human-to-animal host jump, followed by subsequent adaptive evolution.” https://lnkd.in/gEfVGaC View in LinkedIn

"MOST PLANTS have bisexual flowers with functional male and female flowers. Some are self sterile, requiring pollination from another plant to produce seed." https://lnkd.in/g9GqmRH View in LinkedIn

BIOCONTAMINATION. “The numbers of situations in which introduced domesticated plants/animals come into contact for the first time with indigenous viruses or bacteria from native plants/animals, have dramatically increased alongside the intensification of human activities.” https://lnkd.in/gEfVGaC View in LinkedIn

UNNATURAL SELECTION. “Displacement of natural plant and animal species by intensive agriculture or anarchic urban developments, including disturbances associated with unmanaged sewage, pollutants and/or radioactivity, are all important subsets of those intrusions that represent fundamental disturbances in the diversity and in the evolutionary dynamics of viral and bacterial communities inhabiting natural ecosystems.” https://lnkd.in/gEfVGaC View in LinkedIn
