Cell size, genome size, and maximum growth rate are near‐independent dimensions of ecological variation across bacteria and archaea

Abstract Among bacteria and archaea, maximum relative growth rate, cell diameter, and genome size are widely regarded as important influences on ecological strategy. Via the most extensive data compilation so far for these traits across all clades and habitats, we ask whether they are correlated and...
