Heritable Micro-environmental Variance Covaries with Fitness in an Outbred Population of Drosophila serrata.

Genetics - 1 Aug 2017

Sztepanacz Jacqueline L, McGuigan Katrina, Blows Mark W

Abstract excerpt

The genetic basis of stochastic variation within a defined environment, and the consequences of such micro-environmental variance for fitness are poorly understood . Using a multigenerational breeding design in Drosophila serrata, we demonstrated that the micro-environmental variance in a set of morphological wing traits in a randomly mating population had significant additive genetic variance in most single wing...
