How competition can drive allochronic divergence: A case study in the Marine Midge, Clunio marinus

Fig 3

Exploring how dispersal rate and competition strength Cw affect divergence in our model of C. marinus’ reproductive ecology.

A: The average number of chronotypes after 500 generations for 1000 simulations across Cw/ parameter space. Areas where divergence occurs are in yellow and white, and constitute a significant portion of parameter space. Black indicates the region of parameter space in which the population went extinct. B: Single simulation runs under three different parameter combinations of Cw/ showing how changing these parameters affects the dynamics of branching, if it occurs at all.
