Spatial heterogeneity in resources alters selective dynamics in Drosophila melanogaster.

Abstract excerpt

Environmental features can alter the behaviors and phenotypes of organisms, influencing the dynamics of natural and sexual selection. Experimental environmental manipulation, particularly when conducted in experiments where the dynamics of the purging of deleterious alleles are compared, has demonstrated both direct and indirect effects on the strength and direction of selection. However, many of these studies...
