Frequency-dependent viability in mutant strains of Drosophila melanogaster.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Curtsinger J W, Sheen F M

Abstract excerpt

We investigated the effects of genotypic frequencies on egg-to-adult viabilities in pairwise combinations of four strains of Drosophila melanogaster. The experiments involved mixture of a total of 42,000 eggs in varying proportions under controlled densities and observation of surviving adults. Viabilities were found to depend on frequencies in several genotypic combinations. In the most extreme case, the...
