For the sake of human perspective, let's start examining bacterial … have higher fitness than …

… are less well characterised than sediment or soil environments. In aquatic ecosystems, … the
fitness values were relatively low (r 2 < 0.1), suggesting a weak decay of bacterial community …

… micro-habitats, coexisting in close proximity [13]. The environmental properties and resource
availabilities of the micro-habitats … fitness in a heterogeneous environment like soil. Indeed, …

… Net primary productivity (NPP) that decays rapidly with soil depth maintains belowground
bacterial abundance. Dry soils support small communities of bacteria that are spatially isolated…

… theory that posits that bacteria are largely confined to their microhabitats in soil and will only
… This process enhanced the fitness of the predator as well as the prey, affecting ecosystem …

… will induce drastic physicochemical shifts in microhabitat conditions resulting in chaotic
diversity … These genetic capacities may provide a significant fitness boost, as a wide nutritional …

… bacteria are usually quite different from the predominant soil … The concentration of iron in the
