Path diagram of factors influencing the fitness of cooperative trait that affects the supply of resources. Terms over straight arrows describe the partial regression coefficients of the variables connected by the corresponding arrow, while the term over the curved arrow represents the covariance between the source variables. Changes in the supply of resources can affect population size in elastic populations, which in turn can influence fitness.
