Compensating for reduction of expected number \(E(F^*)\) of fertilized ovules when R declines to \(0.9{\cdot }R\). Left panel: by adjusting w. Compensation is not possible for \(w{>}0.65\), since \(w^\prime = 1\) for \(w = 0.65\). Right panel: by adjusting h. The smallest size h of the pollen dispersal range for which the compensation condition \(q{>}E(P)\) is fulfilled equals 435, but the corresponding \(h^\prime\) would equal only 71.5 (Proposition 4), which is much less than the number \(qF = 225\) of ovules that must lie within the dispersal range. The smallest value of h for which \(h^\prime {\ge }qF\), and thus for which compensation is possible, equals 466
