Heritability and selection on body size in a natural population of Drosophila buzzatii.

Genetics - 1 Sept 1995

Leibowitz A, Santos M, Fontdevila A

Abstract excerpt

An attempt was made to assess whether the phenotypic differences in body size (as measured by wing length) between wild-caught mating and single Drosophila buzzatii males could be attributed to genetic differences between the samples. Mating males were found to be larger and less variable than a random sample of the population. The progeny of the mating males (produced by crossing to a random female from a stock...
