The genetic architecture of immune defense and reproduction in male Bombus terrestris bumblebees.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Apr 2007

Wilfert Lena, Gadau Jürgen, Schmid-Hempel Paul

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the architecture of genetic variation, that is the number, effect, location, and interaction, of genes responsible for phenotypic variability in nature is important for the understanding of microevolutionary processes. In this study, we have used a quantitative trait loci (QTL) approach to uncover the genetic architecture of fitness-relevant traits associated with reproduction and immune defense in...
