Comparative losses of quantitative and molecular genetic variation in finite populations of Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetical research - 1 Feb 2005

Gilligan Dean M, Briscoe David A, Frankham Richard

Abstract excerpt

Quantitative genetic variation, the main determinant of the ability to evolve, is expected to be lost in small populations, but there are limited data on the effect, and controversy as to whether it is similar to that for near neutral molecular variation. Genetic variation for abdominal and sternopleural bristle numbers and allozyme heterozygosity were estimated in 23 populations of Drosophila melanogaster...
