Fig. 5: Detour and star graphs are graph families that minimize and maximize of probability of fixation under the Bd process.

From: A theory of evolutionary dynamics on any complex population structure reveals stem cell niche architecture as a spatial suppressor of selection

Fig. 5

The dots represent ensemble averages across 106 replicate Monte Carlo simulations, while the lines represent our analytical approximations. Detour graphs are the strongest suppressors under weak selection. Detour graph consists of a completely connected central cluster and a cycle part. In (A), we plot the probability of fixation on detour graphs with varying lengths of the detour cycle. Here s = 0.002. In (B), we plot the probability of fixation across graph types, with respect to population size, to illustrate how the star and detour graphs represent extreme values of the fixation probability. Here s = 0.005. The two graphs illustrated are detour graphs with different detour lengths.
