Abstract
As obligate parasites, phages exert strong top-down pressure on host populations with eco-evolutionary implications for community dynamics and ecosystem functioning. The process of phage infection, however, is constrained by bottom-up processes that influence the energetic and nutritional status of susceptible hosts.
