Extended Data Fig. 2: The relationship between host pace-of-life and demographic competence for population with age structure, pathogens with DD transmission and when either host population regulation is survival-based (red) or reproduction-based (blue).

Demographic competence is pathogen prevalence multiplied by the host population size relative to the uninfected carrying capacity. We show results from models that consider hosts as either susceptible or infected (see above) for two different values for juvenile survival. Closed circles and solid lines represent juvenile survival being equal to adult survival and open circles and dashed lines represent juvenile survival being 60% of adult survival. The comparable values for populations without age structure are indicated by crosses (red for survival-based regulation and blue for reproduction-based regulation).
