The cost of bacterial predation via Type VI Secretion System leads to predator extinction under environmental stress.
The teams of Amirul I Mallick & Dipjyoti Das combined experiments and mathematical modeling to show how bacterial predation under environmental stress can lead to predator extinction and host defence.
The First-order Mott Transition in V2O3 has Traits of Second Order Transitions.
This work shows that the strongly hysteretic first-order phase transition in V2O3, and possibly other similar materials with long-ranged interactions, can have features usually associated with second-order transitions
