Mother-daughter correlations in growth rate induce negative values of λ_αq. (A) Shows the correlation between mother and daughter growth rate across datasets (symbols and colors, see Figure 1) and conditions. All the datasets display a significant positive correlation. Panel shows the value of λ_αq predicted from our theory assuming the empirical mother-daughter growth rate correlations (see Equation 14), compared to the empirical ones for negative values of λ_αq. The assumed mechanism correctly predicts negative values of λ_αq, but the prediction cannot capture the datasets with positive values of λ_αq, which are shown in (C) (not visible in B).
