Joint allelic effects on fitness and metric traits.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Apr 2013

McGuigan Katrina, Blows Mark W

Abstract excerpt

Theoretical explanations of empirically observed standing genetic variation, mutation, and selection suggest that many alleles must jointly affect fitness and metric traits. However, there are few direct demonstrations of the nature and extent of these pleiotropic associations. We implemented a mutation accumulation (MA) divergence experimental design in Drosophila serrata to segregate genetic variants for...
