Quantitative genetics of sperm precedence in Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetics - 1 Jan 1997

Hughes K A

Abstract excerpt

To assess the genetic basis of sperm competition under conditions in which it occurs, I estimated additive, dominance, homozygous and environmental variance components, the effects of inbreeding, and the weighted average dominance of segregating alleles for two measures of sperm precedence in a large, outbred laboratory population. Both first and second male precedence show significant decline on inbreeding....
