Fig. 5: Varying the costs associated with plant and insect traits reveals coevolutionary outcomes.

From: Coevolutionary transitions from antagonism to mutualism explained by the Co-Opted Antagonist Hypothesis

Fig. 5

Insect costs associated with herbivory (cHI,i) and visitation (cVI,i) are varied in panels (a, b) and plant costs associated with defense (cHP,i) and attraction (cVP,i) are varied in panels (c, d) (Methods). Green regions indicate evolutionary transitions from antagonism to net mutualism. Gray regions indicate that the interaction is net antagonistic despite evolutionary co-option of the antagonist. White regions indicate evolutionary purging of the antagonist. Black points give evolutionary parameter values used in the model (Methods).
