  • The early steps in the evolution of multicellularity are poorly understood. Here, Ratcliff et al. show that multicellularity can rapidly evolve in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, demonstrating that single-cell developmental bottlenecks may evolve rapidly via co-option of the ancestral phenotype.

  • The Type VI Secretory System (T6SS) is used by some bacteria to kill non-kin competitors. Here, McNally and colleagues combine mathematical modelling, experiments withVibrio choleraand phylogenetic analysis to show that by eliminating nearby non-kin the T6SS may also favour cooperation among kin.

  • Determining progress in adaptation to climate change is challenging, yet critical as climate change impacts increase. A stocktake of the scientific literature on implemented adaptation now shows that adaptation is mostly fragmented and incremental, with evidence lacking for its impact on reducing risk.

  • Understanding how single cells evolved into multicellular organisms requires knowledge of the physical constraints on the evolution of cell clusters. Evidence that an evolution in cell shape delays fracturing offers a route to increased complexity.
