2019). The evolutionary responses of microbes are conditioned by the number and characteristics of interacting drivers  . For example, in a high-salinity adapted strain of the phytoplankton Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, the selection intensity and the adaptation rate increased with the number of environmental drivers, accelerating the adaptive evolutionary response . For this and other phytoplankton species, a few dominant drivers explain most of the phenotypic and evolutionary changes observed .
