Appendix 2—figure 2. Piecewise continuous trajectory.

Iterating the deterministic model yields a piecewise continuous trajectory in the $(N_0,N_1)$ space. The growth phase (continuous lines) alternates with the dilution (dotted lines). In (A, B) traits are taken from generation 3 and in (C,D) from generation 9000 of the main simulation with selection (Figure 2). Successive adult states can be computed using the $G_{\theta }$ function as a recurrence map (see Figure 5 in the main text).
