Fig. 6. Evolution of morphology and behavior of the robotic population. Significant
changes in population means between generations are indicated with an asterisk
midway between the points (
=0.05; planned a priori contrasts
in nested ANCOVA on data transformed to create normal distribution, with
logL, k; arcsine R, U, W, NP; inverse t). Red
asterisks indicate changes driven by selection and chance (drift + mutation);
blue asterisks chance only. Selection occurred in generations 1, 5, 6 and 9.
Values are means ± s.e.m.
