Resource availability and competition shape the evolution of survival and growth ability in a bacterial community.
Resource availability is one of the main factors determining the ecological dynamics of populations or species. Fluctuations in resource availability can increase or decrease the intensity of resource competition. Resource availability and competition can also cause evolutionary changes in life-hist...
