Balance of Interactions Determines Optimal Survival in Multi-Species Communities - Fig 3

Average total population of 〈xtotal〉 of a system of size N = 100, as a function of mean μ of the interaction strengths for (A) different values of connectedness parameter C. In (B), the average total population is given as a function of the product μC, and it is evident that the data collapses onto a single curve implying a functional relation between total population and μC. Here the average total population is obtained by averaging the total over 100 random realizations, and the standard deviation σ of the connectivity matrix J is 0.1.
