How much do genetic covariances alter the rate of adaptation?
Genetically correlated traits do not evolve independently, and the covariances between traits affect the rate at which a population adapts to a specified selection regime. To measure the impact of genetic covariances on the rate of adaptation, we compare the rate fitness increases given the observed G matrix to the expected rate if all the covariances in the G matrix are set to zero. Using data...
متن کاملThe Genetic Architecture of Climatic Adaptation of Tropical Cattle
Adaptation of global food systems to climate change is essential to feed the world. Tropical cattle production, a mainstay of profitability for farmers in the developing world, is dominated by heat, lack of water, poor quality feedstuffs, parasites, and tropical diseases. In these systems European cattle suffer significant stock loss, and the cross breeding of taurine x indicine cattle is unpre...
متن کاملGeographic variation in diapause incidence, life-history traits, and climatic adaptation in Drosophila melanogaster.
In Drosophila melanogaster, exposure of females to low temperature and shortened photoperiod can induce the expression of reproductive quiescence or diapause. Diapause expression is highly variable within and among natural populations and has significant effects on life-history profiles, including patterns of longevity, fecundity, and stress resistance. We hypothesized that if diapause expressi...
متن کاملA ricle Global Transcriptional Profiling of Diapause and Climatic Adaptation in Drosophila melanogaster
Wild populations of the model organism Drosophila melanogaster experience highly heterogeneous environments over broad geographical ranges as well as over seasonal and annual timescales. Diapause is a primary adaptation to environmental heterogeneity, and in D. melanogaster the propensity to enter diapause varies predictably with latitude and season. Here we performed global transcriptomic prof...
متن کاملClimatic adaptations of life - history traits in Drosophila melanogaster : analysis of genetic and plastic effects
Five Indian geographical populations of Drosophila melanogaster were analyzed for their genetic divergence of life history traits. Clinal variations were observed for body weight, ovariole number, and four pre-life history traits (i.e., fecundity, hatchability, viability, and duration of development). Rearing populations at different growth temperatures shows that the variations among wild flie...
