Selection for resistance to a fungal pathogen in Drosophila melanogaster.

Heredity - 1 Apr 2008

Kraaijeveld A R, Godfray H C J

Abstract excerpt

An artificial selection experiment designed to explore the evolution of resistance to a fungal pathogen, Beauveria bassiana, in Drosophila melanogaster is reported here. The experiment was designed to test whether there is sufficient additive genetic variation in this trait for increased resistance to evolve, and, if so, whether there are correlated responses that might represent a cost to defence. After 15...
