Abstract excerpt

Founding isofemale lines from wild collected females is a basic tool for investigating the genetic architecture of Drosophila natural populations. The method permits the analysis of quantitative traits under laboratory conditions, with a much broader scope than the mere evidence of a significant genetic heterogeneity among lines. Genetic variability is generally demonstrated by a significant coefficient of...
