Evolution of a MBH in a galaxy that becomes a Milky-Way-type disk by z = 0. The evolution is extracted from a merger tree describing a dark matter halo of mass at z = 0. The galaxy is the central galaxy in a Local Group-sized halo. Note the occurrence of MC accretion at z < 0.5. Panels, lines, and symbols as in Figure 5.
