Physiological homology between Drosophila melanogaster and vertebrate cardiovascular systems
The physiology of the Drosophila melanogaster cardiovascular system remains poorly characterized compared with its vertebrate counterparts. Basic measures of physiological performance remain unknown. It also is unclear whether subtle physiological defects observed in the human cardiovascular system can be reproduced in D. melanogaster. Here we characterize the cardiovascular physiology of D. me...
متن کاملPolygenic mutation in Drosophila melanogaster: the causal relationship of bristle number to fitness.
The association between sternopleural and abdominal bristle number and fitness in Drosophila melanogaster was determined for sublines of an initially highly inbred strain that were maintained by divergent artificial selection for 150 generations or by random mating for 180 generations. Replicate selection lines had more extreme bristle numbers than those that were maintained without artificial ...
متن کاملPolygenic mutation in Drosophila melanogaster: Mapping spontaneous mutations affecting sensory bristle number.
Our ability to predict long-term responses to artificial and natural selection, and understand the mechanisms by which naturally occurring variation for quantitative traits is maintained, depends on detailed knowledge of the properties of spontaneous polygenic mutations, including the quantitative trait loci (QTL) at which mutations occur, mutation rates, and mutational effects. These parameter...
متن کاملGenetic and molecular analysis of smooth, a quantitative trait locus affecting bristle number in Drosophila melanogaster.
A semi-lethal, sterile allele of the smooth locus (2-91.5), sm3, was discovered in an artificial selection line for low abdominal bristle number that had been started from a P-M dysgenic cross. The fitness effects and extremely low bristle number phenotype of the allele could not be separated by recombination from a P-element insertion at cytological location 56E, and precise excision of the P-...
متن کاملA study of canalization and developmental stability in the sternopleural bristle system of Drosophila melanogaster.
Among the explanations for minimizing the effects of extraneous variation has been canalization and developmental stability. However, there is little agreement as to whether these two processes reflect a common set of mechanisms. This confusion is inflated due to the lack of consensus as to a precise definition of canalization. In this study, canalization in the sternopleural bristle system is ...
