Socio-Ecology of Microbes in a Changing Ocean
Description:...
Socio-ecological interactions between microbes and associated organisms are
integral elements of marine ecosystem dynamics. This Research Topic combines
sixteen papers on interactions across the major domains of marine life, including
prokaryotes, phytoplankton, macroalgae, cnidarians, viruses and fungi. These studies
offer exciting insights into microbial cooperation and competition, holobiont ecology,
interkingdom signaling, chemical microdiversity, and biogeography. Understanding
such network processes is essential for the interpretation of ecosystem functioning
and biogeochemical events, particularly in the wake of climate change.
