<p>Results of the simulations of sexual vs asexual fluctuating selection associated with Red Queen like effect (frequency dependent selection and fitness reduction due to mutations in asexuals.&nbsp;</p> <p>Two excell sheets labeled figure 1 and figure 2.&nbsp;</p> <p>Figure 1 : 18 groups of&nbsp; 5 columns with 18 corresponding graphs.&nbsp;</p> <p>Columns :&nbsp;</p> <p>SD_env: Generation wise Standard Deviation of the randomly fluctuating environmental conditions.</p> <p>m: inverse of the strength of the frequency dependent selection. The strength of selection is 1/m.</p> <p>rho: autocorrelation of the&nbsp;randomly fluctuating environmental conditions. Either 0 or 0.6.</p> <p>proba_sex: observed frequency of fixed sexual forms for a given Standard Deviation of&nbsp;randomly fluctuating environmental conditions</p> <p>n: number of runs</p> <p>Figure 2&nbsp;: 25&nbsp;groups of&nbsp; 5 columns with 25&nbsp;corresponding graphs.&nbsp; Effect of a reduction of the twofold advantage of asexuals on the fluctuating selection.</p> <p>SD_env, proba_sex, n: same significance as in figure 1.</p> <p>mult_asex: reduction coefficient of the two fold advantage of asexuals due either to deleterious mutations accumulations or to intraspecific competition. If mult_asex=1 the advantage of asexuals over sexuals is 2. So the advantage of asexuals over sexuals is mult_asex*2</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
