Figure 5.—

Effect of selection coefficients s and dominance coefficients h on the limiting population size N_lim, below which genetic load L > 0.0001. Open (asexuals) and solid (sexuals) squares indicate different values of N_lim obtained from our model. The lines indicate the approximations, N_lim = 4/s (sexuals, solid line) and N_lim = 4/hs (asexuals, dashed lines). In sexuals, N_lim depends only minimally on h (Figure 4). Mutation parameters: u = 10⁻⁵, v = 10⁻⁷.
