Bacteriophage Ecology
PopulationGrowth,Evolution,andImpactofBacterialViruses
Bacteriophages,orphages,arevirusesthatinfectbacteria,andarebelieved
tobethemostabundantandmostgeneticallydiverseorganismsonEarth.
As such, their ecology is vast both in quantitative and qualitative terms.
Their abundance, and their impact on bacteria, makes an understanding
of phage ecology increasingly relevant to bacterial ecosystem ecology, bac-
terialgenomics,andbacterialpathology.Thisvolumeisthefirstonphage
ecology in over 20 years. Written by leading experts, it seeks to synthesize
