The genetic contribution of single male immigrants to small, inbred populations: a laboratory study using Drosophila melanogaster.

Abstract excerpt

This study examined the genetic contribution of single male immigrants to small, inbred laboratory populations of Drosophila melanogaster. Genetic contribution was assessed by measuring the relative frequency of immigrant marker alleles in the first and second generations after immigration, while controlling for any selection effects at the marker locus, and for the experience of male immigrants. When immigrants...
