Abstract excerpt
We analyzed the progeny of brother-sister matings of two inbred strains of the treehole mosquito, Aedes triseriatus, at several isozyme loci to determine which factors were maintaining heterozygosity at these loci after prolonged inbreeding. The triseriatus Kramer (TK) lines were polymorphic for the Odh and Hbd loci after 12 generations of full-sib mating, and the triseriatus Vero Beach (TV) lines were...
