[371]-393) and index.3 aBased on the thesis that insights into both evolution and ecology can be obtained through the study of microorganismsm, Microbial Ecology examines microbiology through the lens of evolutionary ecology. Measured from a microbial perspective, this text covers such topics as optimal foraging, genome, reduction, novel evolutionary mechanisms, bacterial speciation, and r and K selection. Numerous aspects of microbial existence are also discussed and include: species competition, predation, parasitism, mutualism, microbial communication through quorum sensing and other. The result is a context for understanding microbes in nature and a framework for microbiologists working in industry, medicine, and the environment. 00aEcologia Microbiana91118304aSurface chemistry.91118404aMicrobiology91118504aEcology91118604aEvolution911187413Table of contents onlyuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip062/2005030991.html423Publisher descriptionuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0623/2005030991-d.html  a7bcbccorignewd1eecipf20gy-gencatlg  2ddccLV  c37740d37740
