Figure 1. — The average fixation time of a favorable allele for different dominance coefficients. The scaled selection coefficient is on the x-axis and the fixation time in generations is on the y-axis. N is the diploid effective population size. The mean fixation time of a neutral allele is 4N generations. The solid line (green) is for h = 0.1, the long dashed line (red) is for h = 0.5, and the short dashed line (blue) is for h = 0.9. The inset is an enlarged view of the trajectories when selection is strong.
