Adaptive radiation by waves of gene transfer leads to fine-scale resource partitioning in marine microbes

Adaptive radiations are important drivers of niche filling, since they rapidly adapt a single clade of organisms to ecological opportunities. Although thought to be common for animals and plants, adaptive radiations have remained difficult to document for microbes in the wild. Here we describe a rec...
