Description

Results of the simulations of sexual vs asexual fluctuating selection associated with Red Queen like effect (frequency dependent selection and fitness reduction due to mutations in asexuals. 

Two excell sheets labeled figure 1 and figure 2. 

Figure 1 : 18 groups of  5 columns with 18 corresponding graphs. 

Columns : 

SD_env: Generation wise Standard Deviation of the randomly fluctuating environmental conditions.

m: inverse of the strength of the frequency dependent selection. The strength of selection is 1/m.

rho: autocorrelation of the randomly fluctuating environmental conditions. Either 0 or 0.6.

proba_sex: observed frequency of fixed sexual forms for a given Standard Deviation of randomly fluctuating environmental conditions

n: number of runs

Figure 2 : 25 groups of  5 columns with 25 corresponding graphs.  Effect of a reduction of the twofold advantage of asexuals on the fluctuating selection.

SD_env, proba_sex, n: same significance as in figure 1.

mult_asex: reduction coefficient of the two fold advantage of asexuals due either to deleterious mutations accumulations or to intraspecific competition. If mult_asex=1 the advantage of asexuals over sexuals is 2. So the advantage of asexuals over sexuals is mult_asex*2
