COMMENTS

MEX files written in C# must be compiled before use, using " mex codename.c ".

Figure 1 shows phase planes which were generated manually to demonstrate a range of possible outcomes. These phase planes are not based on any specific model and so no code is provided for this figure.

DESCRIPTION OF FILES

Figure 2:
"example1_simulation.m"		 	- Source code for plotting coevolutionary trajectories for the model described in Example 1	- written in matlab (R2019b). 
"example1_simulation_function.m" 	- Function which runs an evolutionary simulation for a fixed number of timesteps		- written in matlab (R2019b).
"example1_eco_dynamics_function.c"	- Function which runs ecological dynamics for a single evolutionary timestep			- written as a MEX file in C#.


Figure 3:
"example2_simulation.m"		 	- Source code for plotting coevolutionary trajectories for the model described in Example 2	- written in matlab (R2019b).
