The information measure is reported for the fittest genotype in each of the 100 replicate populations. Red lines are median values from 100 replicates, while the upper and lower bounds of the box are the third and first quartile, respectively. Whiskers are either 1.5 times the the quartile value or the extreme value in the data, whichever is closer to the median. Plus signs are outliers.
