Impacts of changing different resource dynamic parameters (see electronic supplementary material, figure S1b) on the structure of the enemy–victim community. (a) Enemy specificity (as measured by the paired differences index). (b) Enemy generality (‘victim range’). (c) Victim vulnerability. (d) Connectance. (e) Niche overlap among enemies. Results are for 10 replicate simulations of 50 values of T_R by 50 values of A. Each point is the mean of the different indicators taken over two epochs (i.e. T_R + T_L) after equilibrium. Surface plots have been smoothed using the loess quadratic fitting method [52].
