From: Modelling the evolution of cognitive styles

Fig. 1

Different cognitive styles are adaptive under slightly different conditions. Each panel shows the result of one simulation as an example from 10 replicate runs. All replicates produced qualitatively similar results. Each simulation was run with N = 1000, G = 500 and without predation. The only differences in parameter setting between panels were in resource detectability (DRi) and season length (T). Only in case of b), an increase in resource abundance of R2 was needed to ensure that an alternative strategy did not coexist with the shown cognitive style. Settings: a) DR1 = 0.9 and DR2 = 0.9; T = 15; B) DR1 = 0.9 and DR2 = 0.9; T = 60; c) DR1 = 0.0 and DR2 = 0.9; T = 10; d) DR1 = 0.0 and DR2 = 0.0; T = 120
