Comparison of sparse and dense colonies in different cooperator scenarios.

Total proportion of slow strain (S) when colonies are sparse (light) or dense (solid). Strain S are cooperators and strain F are non-cooperators; purple triangles represent obligate cooperation and green circles represent greenbeard cooperation. The horizontal axis is the maximum growth rate for strain S. Each panel represents a different initial proportion of S. Error bars are standard error of the mean.
