Selection for increased longevity in Drosophila melanogaster: a response to Baret and Lints.

Gerontology - 1 Jan 1995

Fukui H H, Pletcher S D, Curtsinger J W

Abstract excerpt

Baret and Lints [Gerontology 1993;39:252-259] have questioned the interpretation of artificial selection experiments for increased longevity in Drosophila. They suggest that such experiments cannot demonstrate the genetic determination of longevity, because line differences in mean longevity are confounded with erratic temporal variations in life span. Using 15,000 flies from selected and control lines developed...
