Genetic variation for preadult viability in Drosophila melanogaster.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Aug 2001

Gardner M, Fowler K, Partridge L, Barton N

Abstract excerpt

The extent of genetic variation in fitness and its components and genetic variation's dependence on environmental conditions remain key issues in evolutionary biology. We present measurements of genetic variation in preadult viability in a laboratory-adapted population of Drosophila melanogaster, made at four different densities. By crossing flies heterozygous for a wild-type chromosome and one of two different...
