Genetic and maternal variation for heat resistance in Drosophila from the field.

Genetics - 1 Jul 1994

Jenkins N L, Hoffmann A A

Abstract excerpt

In Drosophila, field heritability estimates have focused on morphological traits and ignored maternal effects. This study considers heritable variation and maternal effects in a physiological trait, heat resistance. Drosophila were collected from the field in Melbourne, Australia. Resistance was determined using knock-down time at 37 degrees. Drosophila melanogaster was more resistant than Drosophila simulans,...
