Genetic variance for body size in a natural population of Drosophila buzzatii.

Genetics - 1 Aug 1991

Abstract excerpt

Previous work has shown thorax length to be under directional selection in the Drosophila buzzatii population of Carboneras. In order to predict the genetic consequences of natural selection, genetic variation for this trait was investigated in two ways. First, narrow sense heritability was estimated in the laboratory F2 generation of a sample of wild flies by means of the offspring-parent regression. A...
