Genetic trait difference between Paramecium aurelia selected populations evolved with and without competitors of the two highest salinity conditions. Bars display the magnitude (i.e. effect size) of the genetic trait difference along the different common garden (CG) salinity environments for the P. aurelia selected populations for (a,d) biomass (quantified as bio-area), (b,e) cell shape (quantified as cell size ratio of the major and minor cell axis) and (c,f) dispersal ability (quantified as gross speed). Top and bottom row display results for P. aurelia populations evolved in the 2 and 4 g/l salinity, respectively (given by historical salinity). Error bars reflect standard errors of the effect size as obtained from the regression model. Grey bars indicate significant effects, with asterisks referring to the level of significance; *< 0.05, **< 0.01, ***< 0.001. Summary of statistical results can be found in Supplementary Table S13. Results of the effect sizes including microcosm ID 120 can be found in Supplementary Figure S12.
