Fig. 4: Pleiotropic responses of evolved populations in non-synonymous environments.
From: Effects of resource packaging on the adaptative and pleiotropic consequences of evolution
We tested the fitness (r and K) of the three sets of evolved populations in away environments, in which the source of carbon was a non-synonymous sugar, and checked if fitness gains in home and away environments were correlated. For each set of evolved population, there were eight non-synonymous away environments in our experiment. (a, b) show the relative gains in home and away environments, in r and K, respectively. We count the number of distinct types of pleiotropic effects, and the results are as shown in (c) (growth rate) and (d) (yield).
