Figure WN23.8. Sexual reproduction increased adaptation of bacteriophage φ6 to high temperature only if the starting population passed through a small bottleneck. The fitness of populations that were allowed a round of sexual reproduction, relative to those kept without sex, plotted against the size of the initial population bottleneck.
