Fitness trajectories of individual C. elegans recovery lines. Black diamonds at generation 0 show average fitness trait values for the MA12 ancestor. Open circles represent average trait values for each of the five lines initiated from the MA12 genotype and evolved independently for 60 generations. Lines connect the same evolved populations across generations. Intrinsic rate of population increase (top panel), r (Giannelli et al. 1999), and total fecundity (middle panel) are reported as the proportion of N2 control values. The bottom panel shows lifespan; dashed line represents average lifespan of the N2 control. Bars, 1 SEM.
