Figure 3. Examples of evolutionary trajectories simulated from Equation (1) on the lattice environment.

Figure 3

The branching criterion (Equation (4)) is equal to 0.6 (a), 1.07 (b) and 7.5 (c). When it is lower than one, the generalist strategy is stable (a). Otherwise, the metapopulation splits into two sub-populations of specialists (b and c). Dashed line: theoretical singular strategy (Inline graphic), solid lines: habitat optima (Inline graphic and Inline graphic). Other parameters are: a: Inline graphic (Inline graphic and Inline graphic), Inline graphic, Inline graphic; b: Inline graphic (Inline graphic and Inline graphic), Inline graphic, Inline graphic, Inline graphic; c: Inline graphic (Inline graphic and Inline graphic), Inline graphic, Inline graphic, Inline graphic.
