From: Immunity, suicide or both? Ecological determinants for the combined evolution of anti-pathogen defense systems

Figure 6

Adaptive immunity does not affect the evolution of suicide. The effective immune efficacy combines the efficacies of innate and adaptive immunities in a single parameter, so that results can be compared to the case with no adaptive immunity (solid line). Black circles correspond to instances that lead to the loss of adaptive immunity; solid red circles are used for instances with fixation of adaptive immunity; open red circles for hosts with adaptive immunity in instances without fixation. Data collapsed for structured populations with multiple values of pII and pAI; CD max  = 0.3.
