Rhizophora mangle L. microsatellite genotype data and geographic and genetic distances

Microsatellite genotype data (tab 1) and matrices of genetic and geographic distances (tab 2) for Rhizophora mangle L. populations from the Caribbean Basin, Florida, and Northwest Afric

Phase diagrams.

<p>Each diagram shows the probability of successful colonization (color legend at right) as function of information space (IS) and (a) absolute distance between colonized resource and the new available one; (b) absolute distance between the new resource available and the midpoint of population phenotype distribution. This graph considers 10⁹ repetitions of the parameters values listed in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0139225#pone.0139225.t001" target="_blank">Table 1</a>.</p

Midpoint of IS (a) and its maximum amplitude (b) in relation to the utilized resource as function of IS.

<p>Black and gray lines show the mean and the confidence interval (of 95%), respectively. When the population is distant from the optimum (the superior confidence curve in both graphs), as the IS increases, the population evolves towards the optimum phenotype imposed by the host (a) and also loses its maximum amplitude (b) suggesting that the increasing of variation does not compensate co-adaptation (for <i>IS/ σ</i>_<i>r</i><i><1</i>.<i>5</i>). However, as population becomes more co-adapted, the maximum amplitude of IS recuperates. These graphs consider 10⁹ repetitions of the parameters values listed in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0139225#pone.0139225.t001" target="_blank">Table 1</a>.</p

Relation between the size of IS and the number of generations in a specific host just before a successful colonization.

<p>Black and gray lines show the mean and the 95% confidence interval, respectively. This graph considers 10⁹ repetitions of the parameter values listed in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0139225#pone.0139225.t001" target="_blank">Table 1</a>.</p

Effect of information space amplitude and population size on migration success probability.

<p>This graph considers 10⁹ repetitions of the parameters values listed in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0139225#pone.0139225.t001" target="_blank">Table 1</a>.</p

Flowchart of the model.

<p>In each generation, every parasite has a chance to reproduce, disperse to a new host, and die due to the selection pressure imposed by its respective host. For simplicity, after each case of successful host-switch, the parasite population on the ancestral host is no longer modeled and the “new host” becomes the “original host”. The simulation stops when all individuals die.</p

Temporal evolution of the information space of the parasite population.

<p>The black dots represent all different population phenotypes. The red line is the optimum phenotype value favored by the colonized resource (<i>r</i>). The green points represent the optimum phenotype favored by a new resource (<i>r</i>') offered at each new generation. When a new resource is successfully colonized, the source population isn’t plotted any more (the end of a red line means an extinction only for the last generation). Parameters used in this simulation are listed in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0139225#pone.0139225.t001" target="_blank">Table 1</a>.</p
