Fig. 3

Probability of extinction for a consumer with a M = 102 g and b M = 106 g as a function of the starvation rate σ and recovery rate ρ, where the initial density is given as (XF*, XH*, R*), where X is a random uniform variable in [0, 2]. Note the change in scale in b. Extinction is defined as the population trajectory falling below 0.2× the allometrically constrained steady state. The white points denote the allometrically constrained starvation and recovery rates for consumers of each body size
