Microbial population biology

Microbial population biology (MPB) is the application of the principles of population biology to microorganisms.

There exist three basic approaches toward doing MPB are...

1. Ecological
2. Evolutionary ecological
3. Evolutionary

General approaches toward study include...

1. Static versus time-as-variable
2. Perturbed (especially experimentally modified) versus unpertubed (unmodified)
3. Natural (not simplified/more realistic) versus modeled (simplified/more expedient)
4. Observational (wild) versus experimental (wild or lab) versus theoretical (math, computers, thought experiments)
