Why have bacteria never evolved complex multicellularity? A new hypothesis suggests that it could come down to how ...

Shown are representatives of all major lineages of eukaryotic organisms, color coded for occurrence of multicellularity. Solid black circles indicate major lineages composed entirely of ...

How does multicellularity evolve? Scientists who study a family of green algae that includes unicellular Chlamydomonas and multicellular Volvox are beginning to find answers to this question.

Once a binary theory, the origins of multicellularity were thought to be rooted in either cells splitting and sticking ...

Caption Representative diverse origins of multicellularity are shown on a highly redacted and unrooted phylogenetic diagram of the major eukaryotic clades (modified from a variety of sources ...

A deep dive into macroalgae genetics has uncovered the genetic underpinnings that enabled macroalgae, or "seaweed," to evolve multicellularity. Three lineages of macroalgae developed ...

We now know just how the earliest land plants, ancient algae, conquered terrestrial Earth hundreds of millions of years ago ...

Since the algal-plant transition involves the origin of complex multicellularity within the context of terrestrialization, I am also interested in the influence of the environment on the origin of ...

Römling will discuss “Microbial biofilm formation -- about origin, multicellularity and clinical impact” in a free public ...
