We used a mathematical model describing the temperature-driven virus-host dynamics to predict MpV-s distribution. We found that viral abilities to lyse and infect were good predictors of MpV-s presence and absence. (4/6)

By reconstructing virus phylogeny, we found that MpV-s were clustered into cryophile groups, growing mainly at low temperature below 10°C, or cryo-mesophile groups, growing from cold to more than 20°C. (3/6)

We focused on prasnoviurses infecting Micromonas (MpV), a picoeukaryote genus distributed from poles to tropics. We explored the distribution of isolated MpV-s in Tara datasets and highlighted that temperature is the main descriptor of their community composition. (2/6)
