“…The shape parameters of the logistic function were set to 0.2 and 37 such that plants at the end of our simulations had a mean age of 11.1 years and the majority of plants had died within 37 years. These features are consistent with the expected average longevity in wild Coffea populations (Lashermes & Anthony, ; Wintgens, ). Modest changes to the shape parameters of the logistic function resulted in minor changes to the average lifespan, which slightly shifted the threshold value of b at which populations tended to go extinct (data not shown), but these differences do not significantly affect our conclusions.…”

“…The second phase of each modelled year comprises pollination and the generation of seedlings. Following typical Coffea life history (Lashermes & Anthony, ), plants 5 years old and younger are considered juveniles and cannot make pollen or set seed, whereas older plants are adults. The number of seedlings that establish in a given year is determined by a sample from the binomial distribution B ( N , b ), where N is the number of adult plants and b is the probability, per adult, that a new seedling will be generated.…”

“…Around 70% of available coffee in the markets worldwide is arabica coffee. This coffee is recognized possessing higher quality compared to other coffee species since it is rich in flavor, has less bitter, and contains low caffeine [ 1 ]. This makes arabica coffee as the most appreciated and consumed coffee beverages.…”

“…Robusta contains caffeine from 2.4 to 2.8% by weight (Illy, 2002). Arabica on the other hand, has good cup quality, low caffeine content (below 1.5% by weight), and fine aroma which can be described as flowers, fruit, honey, chocolate, caramel or toasted bread (Illy, 2002, Lashermes andAnthony, 2007). Interestingly, there is a wild coffee species known as Coffea brassi (from Psilanthus brassi plant) found in Cape York Australia in 2011 and has been mentioned as an Australian native coffee bean (Michael, 2011).…”
