Would that it were so simple: Interactions between multiple traits undermine classical single-trait-based predictions of microbial community function and evolution.

Abstract excerpt

Understanding how microbial traits affect the evolution and functioning of microbial communities is fundamental for improving the management of harmful microorganisms, while promoting those that are beneficial. Decades of evolutionary ecology research has focused on examining microbial cooperation, diversity, productivity and virulence but with one crucial limitation. The traits under consideration, such as...
