Aside from whichever parameter was being explored, simulations assumed 20 generations of selection with a selected proportion of 0.2, a genetic architecture of 1000 QTL, a selection population consisting of 500 males and 500 females, and the additional parameters of our “generalized” selection scenario are given in Table S1.
