From: Intragenomic conflict in populations infected by Parthenogenesis Inducing Wolbachia ends with irreversible loss of sexual reproduction

Figure 3

Spread and subsequent fixation of a low fertilization rate allele in a wild type population. At generation 1, a PI-Wolbachia infection enters the population in 1% of the females, while at the same time the mutant fertilization rate allele (with a fertilization rate of n = 0.3) is entered in 1% of the males. The PI-Wolbachia does not have any effect on the offspring production of the infected females (ω = 1) and has a transmission efficiency (α) of 95%. Genotypes: ++ = homozygote wildtype, nn = homozygote mutant and n+ = heterozygote. Male genotypes either + = wildtype or n = mutant. A. Frequency of Wolbachia infection in females; B. Frequency of genotypes among infected females (I), note only infected genotype frequencies are displayed.; C. Frequency of the mutant genotype among males, all plotted as a function of the number of generations.
