Polygenic mutation in Drosophila melanogaster: the causal relationship of bristle number to fitness.

Genetics - 1 Feb 1995

Nuzhdin S V, Fry J D, Mackay T F

Abstract excerpt

The association between sternopleural and abdominal bristle number and fitness in Drosophila melanogaster was determined for sublines of an initially highly inbred strain that were maintained by divergent artificial selection for 150 generations or by random mating for 180 generations. Replicate selection lines had more extreme bristle numbers than those that were maintained without artificial selection at the...
