Realized heritability of longevity in Drosophila melanogaster.

Gerontology - 1 Jan 1995

Baret P V, Beckers F, Lints F A

Abstract excerpt

From the data of an experiment of selection for increased longevity, a realized heritability of longevity was calculated. The low value of this heritability (3.4%) was very close to values observed in other experiments concerning Drosophila melanogaster wild strains. The error variance of the heritability estimator was calculated through the use of orthogonal contrasts. In this way, it was possible to calculate...
