From: Experimental mutation-accumulation on the X chromosome of Drosophila melanogaster reveals stronger selection on males than females

Figure 3

Correlation between male and homozygous female fitness. Male and female relative fitness were not correlated in the C lines (black circles, solid regression line) and were significant correlated in the MA lines (white circles, dashed regression line), indicating that new mutations were concordant in the direction of selection. Fitness values were calculated relative to mean control fitness.
