Fig. P1. — Genetic load and heterosis in the small isolated population (PT) of the Glanville fritillary butterfly. (A) Egg-hatching rate (%) in PT (gray) and ÅL (white, large reference population) and in crosses between PT females and males from other regional populations (hatched gray lines). (B) Peak flight metabolic rate (residual from a regression against adult weight) in field-collected PT (gray) and ÅL (white) females and in the female offspring of crosses between PT females and males from other regional populations (hatched gray lines). These results show instant and complete fitness recovery in the crosses.
