Direct and Correlated Responses to Selection
Hemolymph juvenile hormone esterase (JHE) activity on the third day of the last stadium in the cricket, Gryllus assirnilis, exhibited a significant response to selection in each of six replicate lines. Mean realized heritability was 0.26 t 0.04. The response was due to changes in whole-organism enzyme activity as well as to changes in the proportion of enzyme allocated to the hemolymph compartm...
متن کاملEvolution of starvation resistance in Drosophila melanogaster: measurement of direct and correlated responses to artificial selection.
Laboratory selection for resistance to starvation has been conducted under relatively controlled conditions to investigate direct and correlated responses to artificial selection. With regard to starvation resistance, there are three physiological routes by which the trait can evolve: resource accumulation, energy conservation and starvation tolerance. A majority of energetic compounds and macr...
متن کاملPositive and negative selection on noncoding DNA in Drosophila simulans.
There is now a wealth of evidence that some of the most important regions of the genome are found outside those that encode proteins, and noncoding regions of the genome have been shown to be subject to substantial levels of selective constraint, particularly in Drosophila. Recent work has suggested that these regions may also have been subject to the action of positive selection, with large fr...
متن کاملDirect and correlated responses to divergent selection for serum cholesterol concentration on day 56 in swine.
Divergent selection for serum cholesterol concentration on d 56 was practiced in a four-breed, composite population for three generations. High and Low lines, representing high and low levels of serum cholesterol, respectively, were each maintained with approximately 10 males and 25 females per generation. Pigs from a contemporary Control line were evaluated only in the last generation. In the ...
متن کاملDirect and correlated responses to artificial selection on acute thermal stress tolerance in a livebearing fish.
Tradeoffs in performance or fitness across environments have important implications regarding the nature of evolutionary constraints. It remains controversial whether tradeoffs such as these reflect genetic correlations that are genuine evolutionary constraints. However, if such long-term genetic constraints do exist, they must be due to underlying pleiotropy such that alleles that confer high ...
