Evolution of the male genitalia: morphological variation of the aedeagi in a natural population of Drosophila mediopunctata.

Genetica - 1 Jan 2009

Andrade Carlos A C, Vieira R D, Ananina G, Klaczko Louis B

Abstract excerpt

To investigate the size and shape of the aedeagus of Drosophila mediopunctata, we used basic statistics and geometric morphometrics. We estimated the level of phenotypic variation, natural and laboratory heritability as well as the phenotypic correlations between aedeagus and wing measures. The wing was used as an indicator for both body size and shape. Positive significant correlation was obtained for centroid...
