Laboratory relationships between adult lifetime reproductive success and fitness surrogates in a Drosophila littoralis population.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2011

Pekkala Nina, Kotiaho Janne S, Puurtinen Mikael

Abstract excerpt

The difficulties in measuring total fitness of individuals necessitate the use of fitness surrogates in ecological and evolutionary studies. These surrogates can be different components of fitness (e.g. survival or fecundity), or proxies more uncertainly related to fitness (e.g. body size or growth rate). Ideally, fitness would be measured over the lifetime of individuals; however, more convenient short-time...
