From: Complexity vs linearity: relations between functional traits in a heterotrophic protist
Overview of the relations between the selected functional traits of T. thermophila cells. Arrows indicate how each trait affects the other ones, with a black arrow indicating an expected positive relation, a grey arrow for a negative one, and a dotted grey arrow for relations that can vary based on the environment. Each trait is colored based on its measurement difficulty with (1) green for easy, (2) yellow for intermediate, and (3) black for hard
