Abstract excerpt
Despite the ecological importance of viruses, our understanding of their evolutionary dynamics in natural environments remains limited. This gap is particularly pronounced for giant dsDNA viruses of the phyla Nucleocytoviricota and Mirusviricota. Knowledge on their population genetic dynamics is mostly derived from a small number of laboratory-based experiments, while patterns in nature are rarely observed. To...
