SA selection maintained more total genetic variance (V_G) for body size (across the sexes) relative to the directional selection limited to males. Violin plots show the posterior distribution of V_G in the ancestral (ANC) population and after ten generations of artificial male-limited (ML) and sexually antagonistic (SA) selection. *** = posterior difference 99.99% CI does not overlap zero. Note that replicate lines a and b are presented together because they do not significantly differ among the replicate lines within selection regimes, replicate specific comparisons are presented in electronic supplementary material, figure S6.
