Fig. 4

Evolution of body mass, gMR and SMP under various regimens of selection. Separate experiments are stacked as indicated in their subtitles. The layout: left – body size, middle – gMR, right – SMP (the Som parameter in Eq. 1) is maintained as in Fig. 3c-e. Green – the standard condition (as green in Fig. 3c-e); blue – alternative conditions with fixed values of a trait (blue horizontal line in a, d, f), when gMR and sMR are dislinked so that the somatic cost is fixed while gMR can evolve (blue in g-i), and under selection for a somatic risk unrelated trait (blue in j-l)
