Moreover, and echoing the previous findings, the reduction in fitness owing to recessive deleterious alleles was lower in the treatment with a reliable cue (Δ ω = 48%, CI: 29–61%) than in the treatment with an unreliable cue (Δ ω = 60%, CI: 45–70%, p MCMC = 0.062) and no cue (Δ ω = 64%, CI: 52–74%, p MCMC = 0.006), although the difference was marginally non-significant in the first comparison ( figure 6B ).
