Fig. 3: Similarity of fitness effects between environments.
From: Quantifying the local adaptive landscape of a nascent bacterial community
A Clustering environments by using fitness effect correlation as a measure of similarity reveals which environments are the most functionally alike. For example, environments related to the putative ecotype niches--exponential acetate growth and glucose growth, for S and L, respectivelyācluster with conditions where the ecotype is in the minority. The red and yellow dots indicate that the branch has ā„90% or ā„70% support respectively, computed via bootstrapping. B Principal components analysis (PCA) of our data, using (normalized) fitness effects as features (% variance). We see that L experiments cluster separately from the S and REL606 experiments, with the exception of the acetate exponential phase condition.
