Polymorphism evolution in a cross-feeding cascade system. (A) In a mass action environment, polymorphism is maintained through free flow of metabolites (arrows). (B) On a spatially structured environment, connectivity is limited and consequently flow of metabolites or resources is reduced affecting polymorphism stability (figure based on the results of Rosenzweig et al., 1994; Saxer et al., 2009).
