Quantitative genetics of seminal receptacle length in Drosophila melanogaster.

Heredity - 1 Jul 2001

Miller G T, Starmer W T, Pitnick S

Abstract excerpt

The length of the female's primary sperm-storage organ, the seminal receptacle, has undergone rapid divergence within the Drosophila genus. Quantitative genetic analysis of seminal receptacle length was carried out on two laboratory strains of Drosophila melanogaster that had undergone artificial selection for both increased and decreased organ length. Realized heritabilities were 0.176 and 0.270 for the two...
