FIG. 4.

Species packing bounds in the presence of metabolic tradeoffs. (a) The species packing ratio S*/M as a function of σ_m/σ_m, where σ_m is the standard deviation of the $\delta m_i$ and ${\sigma }_c/\sqrt{M}$ is the standard deviation of C_iα. Simulations are for binary consumer preference matrix C_iα drawn from a Bernoulli distribution with probability p. (b) m_i versus ${\sum }_{\alpha }{C}_{i\alpha }$ for p = 0.1 and σ_m/σ_c = 10^−0.5 See SM for all parameters.
