From: The importance of selection in the evolution of blindness in cavefish

Fig. 4

The mutation rate of the blindness allele (u) affects the level of selection (s) required to produce blind populations. The format of this figure follows Fig. 2. As u increases, the amount of selection required to evolve blindness in the cave population decreases for small m, and blindness will evolve regardless of selection. The curves were calculated analytically with Q=0.01 and h=0.5
