Properties of spontaneous mutational variance and covariance for wing size and shape in Drosophila melanogaster.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Apr 2013

Houle David, Fierst Janna

Abstract excerpt

We estimated mutational variance-covariance matrices, M, for wing shape and size in two genotypes of Drosophila melanogaster after 192 generations of mutation accumulation. We characterized 21 potentially independent aspects of wing shape and size using geometric morphometrics, and analyzed the data using a likelihood-based factor-analytic approach. We implement a previously unused analysis that describes those...
