Maternal and grandmaternal age effects on developmental instability and wing size in parthenogenetic Drosophila mercatorum.

Abstract excerpt

Age is known to have a large effect upon fertility and survival. Here we study the impact of maternal and grandmaternal age on wing size and developmental instability (DI) in offspring using a parthenogenetic strain of Drosophila mercatorum. This enabled us to cancel out any genetic variance between individuals. The mean centroid size of the wings was estimated in offspring from four maternal/grandmaternal age...
