Spontaneous mutational correlations for life-history, morphological and behavioral characters in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Genetics - 1 Jun 2005

Estes Suzanne, Ajie Beverly C, Lynch Michael, Phillips Patrick C

Abstract excerpt

The pattern of mutational covariance among traits plays a central, but largely untested, role in many theories in evolutionary genetics. Here we estimate the pattern of phenotypic, environmental, and mutational correlations for a set of life-history, behavioral, and morphological traits using 67 self-fertilizing lines of Caenorhabditis elegans, each having independently experienced an average of 370 generations...
