Data underlying the publication titled: "Cooperator intermixing is an effective competitive strategy against cheaters"

Data from individual-based simulations interacting spherocylindrical particles growing and dividing on a surface. We simulate a cross-feeding consortium of two cooperating species and a cheater species. We look at how the parameters of the interaction result in patterning of the colony, where stronger cooperation leads to more mixing between the cooperators. We try this for different combinations of shapes, interaction strengths and When cheaters are added they do not mix with the cooperators.

本数据集源自基于个体的模拟（individual-based simulations），模拟了在表面上生长、分裂且相互作用的球柱形颗粒（spherocylindrical particles）。我们构建了包含两种合作物种与一种欺骗者物种的交叉喂养共生群落（cross-feeding consortium）。本研究探究交互参数如何影响菌落的空间格局形成：合作强度越高，合作物种间的混合程度便越强。我们针对不同形状、交互强度的组合开展了上述模拟；当引入欺骗者物种时，其不会与合作物种发生混合。
