Biologists at UC San Diego have discovered that communities of bacteria have been employing a social timesharing strategy for millions of years. The team found that bacteria faced with limited nutrients will enter an elegant timesharing strategy—a concept used in computer science, vacation homes and social applications—in which communities alternate…
