The evolution of age-specific mortality rates in Drosophila melanogaster: genetic divergence among unselected lines.

Genetics - 1 Oct 1999

Pletcher S D, Houle D, Curtsinger J W

Abstract excerpt

Age-specific effects of spontaneous mutations on mortality rates in Drosophila are inferred from three large demographic experiments. Data were collected from inbred lines that were allowed to accumulate spontaneous mutations for 10, 19, and 47 generations. Estimates of age-specific mutational variance for mortality were based on data from all three experiments, totalling approximately 225,000 flies, using a...
