Age-specific effects of novel mutations in Drosophila melanogaster II. Fecundity and male mating ability.

Genetica - 1 Jan 2000

Mack P D, Lester V K, Promislow D E

Abstract excerpt

Evolutionary theories of senescence assume that mutations with age-specific effects exist, yet until now, there has been little experimental evidence to support this assumption. In this study, we allowed mutations to accumulate in an outbred, wild population of Drosophila melanogaster to test for age-specific differences in both male mating ability and fecundity. We assayed for age-specific effects of mutations...
