Comparison of sampling made by sex and asex in a multi-locus haploid model. Fitness values were drawn from the normal distribution \(\mathcal {N}(0.7, \, 0.15)\) as described in the text. The starting population consists of two clones. In each panel, for each recombination rate from 0 (asex) to 0.5 (sex, free recombination case) on the x-axis, a population size of 2000, 12 loci and 2 alleles per locus, based on 100 independent trials the red line shows g, the blue solid line shows P, and the blue dashed line demarcates the 95% confidence interval of P, as in Fig. 1
