Heritability, phenotypic and genetic correlations of size and shape of Drosophila mediopunctata wings.

Heredity - 1 Dec 1999

Bitner-Mathé B C, Klaczko L B

Abstract excerpt

We have studied the morphology of wings of Drosophila mediopunctata employing the ellipse method, a procedure that allows precise descriptions of wing size (SI), wing shape outline (SH), and placement of longitudinal wing veins. We have found that the SH and the points which determine the position of the apices of the third, fourth and fifth longitudinal wing veins show high heritability in nature (the lower...
