Microbial Ecology Section
The Microbial Ecology Section, founded in 2006, supports ecologists who work with microbes and related microbial processes as their subjects of interest. This includes (1) encouragement of research regarding the ecology of bacteria, archaea, microeukarya, and viruses, (2) sponsorship of meetings concerning such research, (3) promotion of the integration of microbial ecology into the general study of ecology, and (4) education of scientists and the general public regarding the pivotal role microorganisms play in ecological systems.
