We introduce a toy model for interacting populations connected by mutations
and limited by a shared resource. We study the presence of Eigen's error
threshold and mutational meltdown. The phase diagram of the system shows that
the extinction of the whole population due to mutational meltdown can occur
well before an eventual error threshold transition.
