Figure 1

Long-term E. coli populations show decelerating improvement. Each point shows the mean fitness (averaged over 12 replicate populations) measured relative to the common ancestor. Error bars are 95% confidence intervals calculated from the 12 population estimates. The hyperbolic curve was fit to the data. Data from Cooper and Lenski [3].
