Microbial Ecology and Evolution

Ecology, Evolution and Biodiversity, formerly the Microbial Ecology and Evolution track encompasses many aspects of microbial and phage ecology and the roles of microbes in their natural environments. Our rapidly advancing knowledge of the complexity, immense diversity, and important roles of natural microbial communities will be highlighted in many of the exciting EEB sessions.

Microbial Ecology and Evolution includes

• Biofilms in Ecological and Evolutionary Science
• Biogeochemical Processes and Systems Biology
• Climate Change and Microbes
• Comparative and Evolutionary Genomics
• Ecology and Evolution of Viruses and Phage
• Ecological and Evolutionary Modeling and Theory
• 'omics to Study Ecosystem Function
• Patterns, Mechanisms and Experimental Approaches in Molecular Evolution
• Polymicrobial Interactions of Ecological or Evolutionary Significance
• Systems Biology
• Unusual Microbes and Extreme Environments
