Mechanisms to achieve high sustainability. (C = 6000) (a) The schematic of the sustainable mechanism at lower mixing intensities. The thick-blue-edged compartments represent host-only compartments. Host-only compartments continue to be produced by host propagation from host-only compartments to empty compartments. (b) The schematic of the sustainable mechanism at higher mixing intensities. Host-only compartments are produced by host segregation. (c) The effect of the mixing intensity on the probability to produce host-only compartments. M times fusion-fission events were performed. The mean probabilities and the standard errors of 5 independent batches of simulations are shown (each batch of simulation consists of 200 runs of mixing simulations).
