Since Yun et al.'s (2017) experiment, there have been several studies conducted to determine how natural and sexual selection changes within simple (high density in single vials or bottles) versus "complex environments" (lower density cages with multiple resources for interactions to occur). In the first part of this experiment we looked at how differences in resource patch size and accessibility influenced the purging of six recessive deleterious mutations from populations being held within a series of complex environments. For analyzing purging rates across environmental treatments, models were generated with and without the third SCT replicate for the forked 1 mutation due to this replicate having mutant allele frequencies approaching fixation consistently throughout the experiment ( Figure S2 , Table S2 and Table S3 ). ./cache/cord-102145-bi8jyz6r.txt ./txt/cord-102145-bi8jyz6r.txt
