The relationship between genotype, developmental stability and mating performance: disentangling the epigenetic causes.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Sept 2004

Polak Michal, Stillabower Elizabeth M

Abstract excerpt

Developmental stability (DS) may confer an advantage in competition for mates. The present study tests this hypothesis using Drosophila immigrans, and proposes a novel approach to help broadly define the epigenetic factors causing such an effect. We first estimated the magnitude of isofemale heritability in sternopleural bristle fluctuating asymmetry (FA), using replicate genetic lines extracted from nature....
