Abstract
<p><b>A,</b> The two species are initially segregated. <b>B,</b> The two species are initially mixed. Time series of species biomass (N) when grown in diculture (solid line) or alone (dashed line). The thick lines represent the mean (nβ=β3) and shaded areas represent the standard deviation. See <a href="http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1003398#pcbi-1003398-g003" target="_blank">fig. 3</a> legend for further details on seeding conditions. By-product diffusion rates are [10<i>D<sub>E</sub></i>; 1.4<i>D<sub>E</sub></i>; <i>D<sub>E</sub></i>; 0.14<i>D<sub>E</sub></i>] from very high to low, respectively (see <a href="http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1003398#pcbi.1003398.s013" target="_blank">Table S2</a>).</p
