Figure 5- Impact of the four breeding regimes, simulated over 50
generations. Showing the impact on (A) the genetic load,
(B) the realised load of offspring, (C) the fitness of
adults, and (D) neutral nucleotide diversity (π). Each coloured
line corresponds to a specific mating regime: ”Random mating” (grey),
”Minimise relatedness” (blue), ”Minimise load” (orange), and ”Minimise
load and relatedness” (green). The genetic load and realised load are
expressed in lethal equivalents calculated using equations [1] and
[2] in the Material & Methods (see ). The values presented in the
figure represent the mean results obtained from 100 replicas.
