Increased selection response in larger populations. I. Selection for wing-tip height in Drosophila melanogaster at three population sizes.

Genetics - 1 Jul 1990

Weber K E

Abstract excerpt

The effect of population size on selection response was investigated with replicated selection lines of 40, 200 and 1000 selected parents, using Drosophila melanogaster homozygous for the mutant raised. Selection for increased wing-tip height was carried out for 55 generations, with an average selection intensity of 0.6 standard deviation. The rank order of responses in the seven individual lines was...
