Abstract excerpt
The empirical distributions of the average viability and fitness of mutation accumulation lines of Drosophila melanogaster were analyzed using minimum distance estimation. Data come from two different experimental designs where mutations were allowed to accumulate: 1) in copies of chromosome II p...
