Genetic architecture of two fitness-related traits in Drosophila melanogaster: ovariole number and thorax length.

Genetica - 1 Nov 2005

Telonis-Scott M, McIntyre L M, Wayne M L

Abstract excerpt

In Drosophila melanogaster, ovariole number and thorax length are morphological characters thought to be associated with fitness. Maximum daily egg production in females is positively correlated with ovariole number, while thorax length is correlated with male reproductive success and female fecundity. Though both traits are related to fitness, ovariole number is likely to be under stabilizing selection, while...
