Evolution of foraging behaviour induces variable complexity-stability relationships in mutualist-exploiter-predator communities

Fig 3

Network structures and local stability change with the interspecific competition (β) and consumption rate (u1) in the four-species MEST community.

Stable coexistence of species is achieved when Remax)<0. In each simulation case, the blue regions have higher stability than the red regions, and the empty white regions denote no solution to network modules. Key parameters of the four-species model: g = 0.28, u1[0, 0.3], β10 = β01 = β[0, 0.18], r1 = 0.35 and other parameter values are presented in Table 1.
