Response to selection and realized heritability of sperm length in the yellow dung fly (Scathophaga stercoraria).

Heredity - 1 Jan 2010

Dobler R, Hosken D J

Abstract excerpt

Sperm length shows considerable phenotypic variation both inter- and intra-specifically, but a general explanation for this variation is lacking. In addition, our understanding of the genetic variation underlying sperm length variation is also limited because there have been few studies on the ge...
