Dynamics over multiple cycles with production of pyoverdine that enhances iron-availability. Blue hatched areas indicate an increase of the average inoculum size n¯ over one cycle, while orange hatched areas indicate an increase in the population composition x¯1. Strain 1 (x¯1=1) differs from Strain 2 (x¯1=0) by a slower growth rate δα1<0 and a non-zero production of pyoverdine ρ1>0, ρ2=0. Purple dots connected by lines show exemplaric trajectories, that lead to coexistence fixed points for the chosen parameters. Only the first 50 cycles from each trajectory are shown. Adjustment of the average inoculum size n¯ is fast, while the population composition x¯1 changes slow. Growth rate differences are chosen to be δα1=-10-2 (a, b) and δα1=-10-3 (c, d). Dilution rates (indicated by average inoculum sizes for growing populations) are dS0φ=60 (a, c) and dS0φ=30 (b, d). Other parameters are σ=2 and ρ1/α=10-3 for all panels
