Greater nutrient variety can counterintuitively shrink microbial diversity, experiments re
Microbial communities are considered particularly diverse—in soil, water and the human body. A common assumption in ecology is that the greater the diversity of available nutrients, the more species can coexist. A research team at the University of Tübingen has now shown that the
