mSphere of Influence: Fungal behavior as a framework for the evolution of emergent traits

Andrew Swafford works in the field of evolutionary cell biology. In this mSphere of Influence article, he reflects on how the simultaneous introduction to the evolution of vision, the sensory biology of chytrid fungi, and a classic paper by Vrba and Gould helped shape his thinking about sensory evolution.
