Bigger populations instead of competition

[richelbilderbeek]

@Lumphie his simulation has disruptive selection and overcomes all obstacles as described in [1].

@JorikdeBoer and my simulation do not have this.

@rsetienne suggested to just use bigger population sizes: in Hubbell's neutral models, you also get multiple species.

Preliminary results, however, do not support that multiple species will be stable:

Note that maybe I will have to increase population size even more? I noted that this simulation, by Jorik, not always runs due to an exception being thrown.

Either we'll have to take a closer look, or add competition to my and Jorik's model. I'll discuss this in the TRES tea break or sooner.

I will as @rsetienne and/or take a look at some neutral models from [1]
