Abstract excerpt
Stabilizing selection for a set of morphometric wing traits was combined with directional selection for the increased expression of radius incompletus (ri) mutation of Drosophila melanogaster. Three experimental regimes were used: directional and stabilizing selection (stabilized lines); directional selection (unstabilized lines); no selection (controls). Response to selection for ri expression was similar in all...
