Final distribution of ISs and cell fitness under transposition bursts with evolving regulation. All changes in transposition events occur after 5000 generations. Each panel was generated based on 1000 simulation runs, and each simulation was run for 30,000 generations. The mean IS copy and the mean cell fitness were computed conditional on the persistence of ISs. The population is initialised with an IS distribution according to Sawyer et al. [62]. All parameter values are as given in Table 1
