author keywords: CRISPR-Cas systems; CRISPR spacers; virome; phages; microbiome
MeSH headings : Biodiversity; Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats; Humans; Metagenomics; Microbiota; Viruses / classification; Viruses / genetics; Viruses / isolation & purification

Macroecology to Unite All Life, Large and Small
[Review of ]. TRENDS IN ECOLOGY & EVOLUTION, 33(10), 731–744.
Contributors: A. Shade, R. Dunn n , S. Blowes *, P. Keil *, B. Bohannan *, M. Herrmann *, K. Küsel*, J. Lennon*
MeSH headings : Biodiversity; Ecology / classification; Ecology / methods
