متن کاملAdult fitness consequences of sexual selection in Drosophila melanogaster.
Few experiments have demonstrated a genetic correlation between the process of sexual selection and fitness benefits in offspring, either through female choice or male competition. Those that have looked at the relationship between female choice and offspring fitness have focused on juvenile fitness components, rather than fitness at later stages in the life cycle. In addition, many of these st...
متن کاملTransposable element-induced response to artificial selection in Drosophila melanogaster.
The P family of transposable elements in Drosophila melanogaster transpose with exceptionally high frequency when males from P strains carrying multiple copies of these elements are crossed to females from M strains that lack P elements, but with substantially lower frequency in the reciprocal cross. Transposition is associated with enhanced mutation rates, caused by insertion and deletion of P...
متن کاملSelection on wing allometry in Drosophila melanogaster.
Five bivariate distributions of wing dimensions of Drosophila melanogaster were measured, in flies 1) subjected to four defined environmental regimes during development, 2) taken directly from nature in seven U.S. states, 3) selected in ten populations for change in wing form, and 4) sampled from 21 long inbred wild-type lines. Environmental stresses during development altered both wing size an...
متن کاملReverse evolution of fitness in Drosophila melanogaster
The evolution of fitness is central to evolutionary theory, yet few experimental systems allow us to track its evolution in genetically and environmentally relevant contexts. Reverse evolution experiments allow the study of the evolutionary return to ancestral phenotypic states, including fitness. This in turn permits well-defined tests for the dependence of adaptation on evolutionary history a...
