Genetic variation and genetic load due to the male reproductive component of fitness in Drosophila.

Genetics - 1 Jan 2000

Brittnacher J G

Abstract excerpt

The genetic variation and genetic load due to virility, the male reproductive component of fitness, was measured in Drosophila melanogaster and D. pseudoobscura using males homozygous and heterozygous for the second chromosome of each species. Virility was determined in a female-choice, male mating competition experiment where both mating propensity and fertility were taken into account.--The mean virility of the...
