Evolutionary implications of developmental instability in parthenogenetic drosophila mercatorum. I. Comparison of several strains with different genotypes.

Evolution & development - 1 Jan 2000

Kramer Melissa G, Templeton Alan R, Miller Kathryn G

Abstract excerpt

Natural populations of sexually reproducing Drosophila mercatorum are capable of a very low rate of parthenogenesis, but this mode of reproduction has apparently never characterized an entirely asexual population in this species. The high abortion rate observed in laboratory parthenogenetic lines suggests that developmental constraints may cause the failure of this trait to spread in nature. To investigate the...
