Quantitative genetic analysis of natural variation in body size in Drosophila melanogaster.

Heredity - 1 Aug 2002

Gockel J, Robinson S J W, Kennington W J, Goldstein D B, Partridge L

Abstract excerpt

Latitudinal, genetic variation in body size is a commonly observed phenomenon in many invertebrate species and is shaped by natural selection. In this study, we use a chromosome substitution and a quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping approach to identify chromosomes and genomic regions associated with adaptive variation in body size in natural populations of Drosophila melanogaster from the extreme ends of...
