Abstract excerpt
Microorganisms represent the largest reservoir of biodiversity on Earth, both in numbers and total genetic diversity, but it remains unclear whether this biodiversity is organized in discrete units that correspond to ecologically coherent species. To further explore this question, we examined patterns of genomic diversity in sympatric microbial populations. Analyses of a total of approximately 200 Mb of microbial...
