Positive genetic correlations among major life-history traits related to ecological success in the aphid Myzus persicae.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 May 2005

Vorburger Christoph

Abstract excerpt

Life-history theory is based on the assumption that evolution is constrained by trade-offs among different traits that contribute to fitness. Such trade-offs should be evident from negative genetic correlations among major life-history traits. However, this expectation is not always met. Here I report the results of a life-table experiment designed to measure the broad-sense heritabilities of life-history traits...
