Recombination and mutational robustness in neutral fitness landscapes
Fig 12
Stationary states in two different sea-cliff landscapes with and without recombination.
(A,B) A single reference genotype with landscape parameters L = 8, d< = 1 and d> = 6. (C,D) Two reference genotypes which are antipodal to each other with landscape parameters L = 8, d< = 2 and d> = 4.2. (A,C) Stationary frequency distribution in the absence of recombination. (B,D) Stationary frequency distribution with uniform crossover and r = 1. In all cases node areas are proportional to genotype frequencies, and the recombination center is marked in blue. The edge width between neighboring genotypes is proportional to the frequency of the more populated one. The mutation rate is μ = 0.01.
