Organisms influence ecosystems, from element cycling to disturbance regimes, to trophic interactions and to energy partitioning. Microorganisms are part of...

Relationships between microbial genes and performance are often evaluated in the laboratory in pure cultures, with little validation in nature....

Understanding how population-level dynamics contribute to ecosystem-level processes is a primary focus of ecological research and has led to important...

For the past several decades, connecting biogeochemistry and microbial genomics has been a high priority in microbial ecology. Yet, techniques...
