From: Increased exposure to acute thermal stress is associated with a non-linear increase in recombination frequency and an independent linear decrease in fitness in Drosophila

Fig. 4

No correlation between recombination rate and number of offspring within time points. Open circles are individual replicates; filled circles are the mean values within time points. Random scatter is indicative of no correlation. In series A, the Y-axis is the recombination rate, where the increase with increased exposure can be seen by following the mean observations across time. In series B the axes are reversed so that number of offspring is along the Y-axis, and the decline with increased exposure time is apparent. Although recombination rate and number of offspring are negatively correlated overall, exposure time appears to be the effect driving changes in both factors independently, rather than recombination rate affecting number of offspring or vice versa
