Figure 2

An excess of rare polymorphisms and reduced codon bias in fast evolving protein-coding genes. A. Tajima's D, a measure of the frequency distributions of mutations, is plotted against the rate of amino-acid evolution (Ka) at X-linked loci in D. miranda. B. The frequency of optimal codons (Fop) is plotted against the rate of amino-acid evolution (Ka).
