Criterion for Altruists selection. ( a) fixation probabilities π s (red squares) and π A (blue circles) as a function of selection pressure N f s ¯ , for N f  = 100 and N i = 85 , 87 , 90 , 93 , 95 , 97 . Values are obtained by numerically solving eq.(8). Solid lines are theoretical values (eqs. 13,14). Increasing N i are indicated by the arrow. (b) equilibrium selection pressure N f s ¯ for which π A = π s for multiple combinations of N f 100 , 150 and N i 85 , 148 , as a function of relative population increase, obtained numerically. The solid line is the theoretical value (eq.15).
