The Genetic Basis of Natural Variation in Drosophila (Diptera: Drosophilidae) Virgin Egg Retention.

Journal of insect science (Online) - 1 Jan 2017

Akhund-Zade Jamilla, Bergland Alan O, Crowe Sarah O, Unckless Robert L

Abstract excerpt

Drosophila melanogaster is able to thrive in harsh northern climates through adaptations in life-history traits and physiological mechanisms that allow for survival through the winter. We examined the genetic basis of natural variation in one such trait, female virgin egg retention, which was previously shown to vary clinally and seasonally. To further our understanding of the genetic basis and evolution of...
