Frontiers perspective article: Expanding the C-S-R framework using methanotrophs as model system
This study expands the classical C-S-R ecological framework by integrating microbial interactions using methane-fed microcosms. Experimental data from synthetic methane-consuming communities reveal how nitrate availability shapes life strategies, highlighting metabolic coupling and resource redistribution. The associated sequencing data provide insight into how interaction-based traits drive community assembly and resilience.
