Figure 7.5. Steps in the evolutionary developmental simulation. See text for description of the steps within a generation (dashed outline). The steps are repeated for as many generations as set in the simulation.

Figure 7.6. Relative fitness (between 0 and 1, where 1 is maximum fitness) as a function of the absolute distance from the new evolutionary optimum for femur length (Equation 11). At greater distances, directional selection is relatively weak, ensuring that the population is not rapidly overrepresented by a few highly fit individuals. As the population mean nears the fitness optimum, stabilizing selection takes over, and fitness drops off more rapidly as individual phenotypes are further from the optimum.
