Abstract excerpt
Related lines of Drosophila melanogaster selected for reproductive activity for more than 750 generations were studied. Results of the long-term selection experiment support D.K. Belyaev's concept of destabilizing selection. Selection for a behavioral trait (male mating activity) affected the int...
