Testing life-history pleiotropy in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Sept 2001

Knight C G, Azevedo R B, Leroi A M

Abstract excerpt

Much life-history theory assumes that alleles segregating in natural populations pleiotropically affect life-history traits. This assumption, while plausible, has rarely been tested directly. Here we investigate the genetic relationship between two traits often suggested to be connected by pleiotropy: maternal body size and fertility. We carry out a quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis on two isolates of the...
