Table 2.

Information on the genetic structure of the population at generation 500 for 15 evolutionary runs under random versus m-trait mating (run numbers sorted on m separately for cases A. and B.; genetic structure of runs 1 and 15 for both cases illustrated in Fig. 2). The heterozygote deviance value (see Method section) is with respect to the parameter α, while the % variance explained by our principal components analysis (PCA) is with respect to the first two components

aStatistical comparisons of A. and B. are highly significant for all three measures using a using a two-tailed non-parameteric Mann-Witney U test

bA negative value implies a deficit of heterozygotes compared with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium

cNo value is given because insufficient genetic structure evolved in the parameter α to identify fewer than 5 distinct alleles
