Fig. 1: Schematic representation of ecological specialization across two environments.

From: Larger bacterial populations evolve heavier fitness trade-offs and undergo greater ecological specialization

Fig. 1

All the fitness values are scaled by the ancestral value (=1 (horizontal black line)). The error bars represent 95% confidence intervals. Significant ecological specialization occurs when the reaction norms of fitness intersect (which happens when the unambiguous fittest type in one environment is not the unambiguous fittest type in the other environment).
