Thinking Small: The Role of Microbial Communities in Our Everyday Lives
Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Professor Jennifer Martiny’s research aims to determine the mechanisms that govern microbial diversity across environmental and human systems. Microbes such as bacteria and fungi are important for many seen and unseen processes, and...
Traits Track Taxonomy
A novel technique based on isotope analysis shows that, compared to ecosystem type, evolutionary history explains more variation in bacterial growth traits along an elevation gradient. This knowledge could help move microbial ecologists toward improved predictive models of soil processes.
