Figure Lengend Snippet: Adaptive radiations ( a , e and i ), trait distributions at evolutionary time 5000 ( b , f and j ), phylogeny ( c , g and k ) and fitness landscape at time 5000 ( d , h and l ) for simulations with species niche widths (σ con ) being set to 0.1 ( a – d ), 0.3 ( e – h ) and 0.5 ( i – l ). Each simulation was seeded with one monomorphic competitive population with a trait value equal to zero. Simulations were run for 5000 evolutionary time steps where each time step involves potential invasions of mutants and equilibrium population size computation. Community dynamics on both ecological (population dynamics) and evolutionary (macro-evolutionary dynamics) time scales are dictated by the consumer-resource and consumer-consumer trait matching as well as niche width and resource availability. Blue lines in a,e and i shows the resource distribution (second y-axis). Model parameters that were kept constant for the simulations were: K 0 = 10,000; σ K = 1; r = 1; µ = 0.01; σ µ = 0.02. Phylogenetic trees were constructed using data on the distance to the nearest common ancestor between the species at the 5000th simulation time step and the MATLAB function seqlinkage . Figure produced in MATLAB version R2019a.
