Comparison of sampling by sex and asex in the multi-locus haploid model for different standard deviations of the initial fitness values distribution. The simulation conditions are as described in Fig. 4, except that now the population size is fixed (N=2000) and the standard deviation of the fitness distribution varies. This figure shows that as the standard deviation increases, P decreases rapidly to almost 0.5 in the asexual population, while in the sexual population it decreases far more slowly in an apparently linear fashion
