Table 3.

Descriptions of the three fitness schemes imposed on “adaptive” loci. The total strength of selection against possible genotypes across the three adaptive loci is shown (s adaptive) along with a description of the different genotypes. Total s adaptive was subtracted from 1 when determining the relative fitness of an individual during simulation

Total s adaptive Genotype description
(A) Directional selection
n ALT (s adaptive) Where n ALT is the number of alleles with ancestry from the “unfit” parent.
(B) Disruptive selection
n MINOR (s adaptive) Where n MINOR is the number of minor ancestry alleles if the number of minor ancestry alleles is less than three or all adaptive loci are heterozygous.
5 (s adaptive) If two loci are homozygous with different ancestry and the third is heterozygous.
(C) Selection‐for‐admixture
6 (s adaptive) If homozygous for the same ancestry across all adaptive loci.
5 (s adaptive) If two loci are homozygous for the same ancestry and the third is heterozygous.
n HET (s adaptive) Where n HET is the number of heterozygous loci if >1 locus is heterozygous.
1 (s adaptive) If two loci are homozygous with different ancestry and the third is heterozygous.
0 (s adaptive) If two loci are homozyous with ancestry from the same parent and the third is homozygous with ancestry from the other parent.
