Figure 6.

Strain-specific model simulations with smoothly varying, inhomogeneous food distributions. (a) Time for npr-1 and N2 agents to deplete 90% of the distributed food units, shown for different γ-values. Error bars show 1 s.d. Simulation time is converted from time steps to real time. (b) Same as (a), but with npr-1 agent feeding rate set to the same value as N2. The black dashed box is zoomed in and displayed in (c). (c) Same as (b), zoomed in to show a crossover of the agents' foraging advantages between γ-values of 0.5 and 1.
