Dynamics of VW and VB over successive generations in response to different selection regimes in the case of 10 loci contributing to the trait. Panels a,c,e,g correspond to the variation of VW and panels b, d,f,h correspond to the variation of VB. (a,b) Scenario 3, ω2=50 and VarZOPT=1, weak stabilizing and moderate divergent selection, (c, d) scenario 4, ω2=50 and VarZOPT=5, weak stabilizing and strong divergent selection, (e,f) scenario 1, ω2=5 and VarZOPT=1, strong stabilizing and moderate divergent selection, (g,h) scenario 2, ω2=5 and VarZOPT=5, strong stabilizing and strong divergent selection, 50 repetitions of simulations were conducted for each scenario, bold lines indicate mean values and dashed lines encompass 95% of the values.
