Genetic and phenotypic correlations among size-related traits, and heritability variation between body parts in Drosophila buzzatii.

Genetica - 1 Jan 1997

Abstract excerpt

Recent studies have shown that body size is a heritable trait phenotypically correlated with several fitness components in wild populations of the cactophilic fly Drosophila buzzatii. To obtain further information on size-related variation, heritabilities as well as genetic and phenotypic correla...
