The human gut is host to one of the densest microbial communities known, the gut
microbiota, which contains bacteria, archaea, viruses, fungi and other microbial eukaryotes …

Lysogens are common at high bacterial densities, an observation that contrasts with the
prevailing view of lysogeny as a low‐density refugium strategy. Here, we review the …

Microbial viruses can control host abundances via density-dependent lytic predator–prey
dynamics. Less clear is how temperate viruses, which coexist and replicate with their host …

The human gut contains trillions of microorganisms that influence our health by metabolizing
xenobiotics, including host-targeted drugs and antibiotics. Recent efforts have characterized …

Since the discovery 2–3 decades ago that viruses of microbes are abundant in marine
ecosystems, viral ecology has grown increasingly to reach the status of a full scientific …

Limnology has traditionally been a science of temperate regions. Long-term studies are not
common in tropical regions despite the number of large tropical lakes that constitute a …

Microbes drive ecosystems and their viruses manipulate these processes, yet the
importance of tidal functioning on the estuarine viruses and microbes remains poorly …

The discovery of abundant viruses in the oceans and on land has ushered in a quarter
century of groundbreaking advancements in our understanding of viruses within …

Oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) are oceanographic features that affect ocean productivity
and biodiversity, and contribute to ocean nitrogen loss and greenhouse gas emissions. Here …

Temperate bacterial viruses (phages) may enter a symbiosis with their host cell, forming a
unit called a lysogen. Infection and viral replication are disassociated in lysogens until an …
