Beyond biodiversity: fish metagenomes.

Biodiversity and intra-specific genetic diversity are interrelated and determine the potential of a community to survive and evolve. Both are considered together in Prokaryote communities treated as metagenomes or ensembles of functional variants beyond species limits.Many factors alter biodiversity...

description Biodiversity and intra-specific genetic diversity are interrelated and determine the potential of a community to survive and evolve.
