Effect of low stressful temperature on genetic variation of five quantitative traits in Drosophila melanogaster.
Heredity - 1 Jul 2002
Bubliy O A, Loeschcke V
Abstract excerpt
A half-sib analysis was used to investigate genetic variation for three morphological traits (thorax length, wing length and sternopleural bristle number) and two life-history traits (developmental time and larva-to-adult viability) in Drosophila melanogaster reared at a standard (25 degrees C) and a low stressful (13 degrees C) temperature. Both phenotypic and environmental variation showed a significant...
