Susceptibility of the male fitness phenotype to spontaneous mutation.

Biology letters - 23 Jun 2012

Mallet Martin A, Kimber Christopher M, Chippindale Adam K

Abstract excerpt

Adult reproductive success can account for a large fraction of male fitness, however, we know relatively little about the susceptibility of reproductive traits to mutation-accumulation (MA). Estimates of the mutational rate of decline for adult fitness and its components are controversial in Drosophila melanogaster, and post-copulatory performance has not been examined. We therefore separately measured the...
