Figure 4.

Effective population size $N_{\mathrm{e}}$ as a function of the selfing rate α, for different values of the strength of selection against deleterious alleles s: 0.005 (blue), 0.05 (green), and 0.5 (red). Solid circles show simulation results, solid curves show analytical predictions from the complete model, dashed curves (left) show the tight linkage approximation, and dotted curves (right) show the high selfing approximation. Parameter values: $N=20,000,$ $h=0.3,$ $U=0.1,$ $R=10.$
