Figure 2. Scatterplots of measured species’ traits (Competitive Ability [CA], Predator Tolerance [PT], Colonization Rate [Colonization], Size, Growth rate [r], and Carrying capacity [K]).

Bold borders indicate a significant relationship (P<0.05) from Spearman rank correlation, see Results for details. Correlations with competitive ability and predator tolerance address the local scale, and those including colonization address the regional scale. Species abbreviations are: Bo, Bodo sp.; Po, Poterioochromonas sp.; Ci, Colpidium sp.; Co, Colpoda sp.; Hr, Habrotrocha rosa.
