Condition dependence and the nature of genetic variation for male sex comb bristle number in Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetica - 1 Apr 2011

Ahuja Abha, De Vito Scott, Singh Rama S

Abstract excerpt

Genetic architecture of variation underlying male sex comb bristle number, a rapidly evolving secondary sexual character of Drosophila, was examined. First, in order to test for condition dependence, diet was manipulated in a set of ten Drosophila melanogaster full-sib families. We confirmed heightened condition dependent expression of sex comb bristle number and its female homologue (distal transverse row...
