Mutation accumulation affects male virility in Drosophila selected for later reproduction.

Physiological and biochemical zoology : PBZ - 1 Jan 2000

Borash Daniel J, Rose Michael R, Mueller Laurence D

Abstract excerpt

An intensive study of longevity, female fecundity, and male reproductive behavior in Drosophila melanogaster was undertaken in order to establish whether late-life fitness characters in short-lived populations might be affected by the increase in deleterious alleles due to random genetic drift. We also sought to determine whether selection for late-life fertility could eliminate alleles that produce a decline in...
