This month, microbiologists gather at ISME12 in Australia to deliberate advances in microbial ecology that could benefit the planet. What are the key challenges for this blossoming field?

The Microbial Ecology Section of ESA supports ecologists who work with microbes and related microbial processes as their subjects of interest. We ask the same sort of ecological questions that would ...

Microbial ecology is the study of microorganisms (e.g., bacteria, archaea, fungi, and viruses), their interaction with the environment, and their interactions with one another. Whether the ...

Ecology and evolution of species interactions in a changing world Our group is interested in the eco-evolutionary dynamics of species interactions in multi-trophic communities. We are specifically ...

Microbial ecology, biogeochemical cycles, and plant-microbe interactions. Theoretical (modeling) and experimental approaches are used to study the ecology of microorganisms in natural and disturbed ...

We develop and use computational models, machine learning and bioinformatics to understand the dynamics of human microbial communities – predominantly the gut microbiomes – and their implications to ...

I joined the Soils group at the Department of Ecosystem Science and Management in the Fall of 2015. My research interests lie in the field of ecosystem science with a focus on the role of the ...

A recent study published in Scientific Reports by researchers from Dickinson College, led by Kristin Strock, highlights the potential role of glacial rivers and lakes in mitigating the effects of ...
