Estimating the heritability of female lifetime fecundity in a locally adapted Drosophila melanogaster population.

Abstract excerpt

The heritability of genome-wide fitness that is expected in finite populations is poorly understood, both theoretically and empirically, despite its relevance to many fundamental concepts in evolutionary biology. In this study, we used two independent methods of estimating the heritability of lif...
