The changes in genetic and environmental variance with inbreeding in Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetics - 1 May 1999

Whitlock M C, Fowler K

Abstract excerpt

We performed a large-scale experiment on the effects of inbreeding and population bottlenecks on the additive genetic and environmental variance for morphological traits in Drosophila melanogaster. Fifty-two inbred lines were created from the progeny of single pairs, and 90 parent-offspring families on average were measured in each of these lines for six wing size and shape traits, as well as 1945 families from...
