Pairwise Invasion Plots (Linear trade-off between transmission and virulence)

Does the analysis agree with the simulations?

Yes: There is an ES virulence with spatial structure and maximization with global infection

Yes: The ES virulence increases as the proportion of global infection increases

But: The ESS is lost before L=1.0 Weak selection gradients mean this is not

seen when simulation is run for a set time period

The ESS is lost

Conclusions Spatial structure crucial to evolutionary outcomes

Bi-stability leading to the possibility of dramatic shifts in virulence

Shapes of trade-offs are important

Approximate analysis is useful in spatial evolutionary models
