Abstract
Why are members of a microbial species not the same? They may be clonal, but microbial populations are often composed of multiple cocirculating lineages distinguished by large phenotypic and genetic differences. Species and the mechanisms of speciation have been notoriously challenging to study in microbes owing to pervasive horizontal gene flow, widespread geographical distribution, and cryptic ecological niches that structure microbial populations.
