Increased selection response in larger populations. II. Selection for ethanol vapor resistance in Drosophila melanogaster at two population sizes.

Genetics - 1 Jul 1990

Weber K E, Diggins L T

Abstract excerpt

The effect of large population size on selection response was investigated using Drosophila melanogaster, with four "small" lines of 160 selected parents/generation compared to two "large" lines of 1,600 selected parents/generation. All lines were selected under similar conditions at a selection intensity of approximately 0.55 standard deviations, for 65 generations, for increased ethanol vapor resistance...
