Fig 1.
Fitness trajectories over time.
Fitness trajectories for each method, shown separately, have the form w = (bT +1)a, where w is fitness, T is time in generations, and a and b are model parameters. Black circles and curve show the Traditional method; blue squares and curve show the ASR method; red triangles and curve show the DCC method.
Fig 2.
Coefficient of variation over time.
Lines are linear regressions on the relevant data. Black circles and line show the Traditional method; blue squares and line show the ASR method; red triangles and line show the DCC method. S1 Fig shows the confidence bands associated with each regression line.

Fig 3.
Histogram of bootstrap analysis.
Histogram showing the distribution for the bootstrapped sums of squared differences in the coefficient of variation for 3 arbitrary groupings of the combined data. The dark arrow indicates the difference for the actual grouping of the 3 methods employed. The light arrow shows the most extreme 5% of the sums of the squared differences.
