Figure 5

Cumulative selection response in tibia length. The cumulative response in tibia length (expressed as sample means each generation) is plotted as a function of the cumulative selection differential in Longshanks Line 1 (left) and Line 2 (right). Dashed lines correspond to linear regression models fitted to the data, solid curves correspond to polynomial regression models with both linear and quadratic terms. All coefficients in both models are significant at the p < 0.001 level.
