Permafrost thaw ponds occur in high abundance across the northern landscape of Canada and are sites of intense microbial activity, resulting in carbon dioxide and methane emissions to the atmosphere. In this study, we focused on viruses as largely unstudied agents of top-down control in these high-l...
