Figure 4. Survey of ASM growth scenarios, showing fold-increase in ASM population size after 300 days (colour scale) as a function of the inflammation resolution rate IR  =  λ_d/λ_p and (a) inflammation magnitude a/μ₁ (for fixed frequency ω/λ_p  = 0.25) or (b) inflammation frequency ω/λ_p (for fixed magnitude a/μ₁  = 5).

White dots indicate the growth regimes shown in Fig. 2. Solid black lines are the computed isolines of the 2- and 8-fold ASM growth, which agree with the theoretically predicted dependence λ_d ∼ ω log a/μ₂ (dashed white lines; see Materials S1).
