Quantitative genetic tests of recent senescence theory: age-specific mortality and male fertility in Drosophila melanogaster.

Heredity - 1 Dec 2003

Snoke M S, Promislow D E L

Abstract excerpt

Quantitative genetic models of aging predict that additive genetic variance for fitness components should increase with age. However, recent studies have found that at very late ages, the genetic variance components decline. This decline may be due to an age-related drop in reproductive effort. If genetic variance in reproductive effort affects the genetic variance in mortality, the decline in reproductive effort...
