Life history strategies of bacterial communities under antibiotic treatment. Two-dimensional trait space from an MCOA depicting community aggregated traits across OTC-treated bacterial communities, with traits inferred from enriched genes in bacteria metagenomes. Dots represent the positions of 13 sampled bacterial communities used in this study along these two dimensions. In the trait lists (Supplementary file 3: Table S1), letters in brackets represent how life history traits (high growth yield, resource acquisition, stress tolerance) have been associated with classical theoretical works [5, 10, 11, 20]
