Lack of nonadditive genetic effects on early fecundity in Drosophila melanogaster.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Mar 2003

Fernández J, Rodríguez-Ramilo S T, Pérez-Figueroa A, López-Fanjul C, Caballero A

Abstract excerpt

Fecundity is usually considered as a trait closely connected to fitness and is expected to exhibit substantial nonadditive genetic variation and inbreeding depression. However, two independent experiments, using populations of different geographical origin, indicate that early fecundity in Drosophila melanogaster behaves as a typical additive trait of low heritability. The first experiment involved artificial...
