Mitochondrial genotype affects fitness in Drosophila simulans.
Drosophila simulans is known to harbor three distinct mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplotype groups (siI, -II, and -III) with nearly 3.0% interhaplotypic divergence but <0.06% intrahaplotypic diversity. With the large amount of genetic variation in this system, the potential power to detect intraspecific fitness differences in fly lines that carry distinct haplotypes is great. We test three life-h...
متن کاملGenotype-by-environment interactions for cuticular hydrocarbon expression in Drosophila simulans.
Genotype-by-environment interactions (G × Es) describe genetic variation for phenotypic plasticity. Recent interest in the role of these interactions in sexual selection has identified G × Es across a diverse range of species and sexual traits. Additionally, theoretical work predicts that G × Es in sexual traits could help to maintain genetic variation, but could also disrupt the reliability of...
متن کاملDetecting High-Order Epistasis in Nonlinear Genotype-Phenotype Maps
High-order epistasis has been observed in many genotype-phenotype maps. These multi-way interactions between mutations may be useful for dissecting complex traits and could have profound implications for evolution. Alternatively, they could be a statistical artifact. High-order epistasis models assume the effects of mutations should add, when they could in fact multiply or combine in some other...
متن کاملGenotype-by-Environment Interactions for Female Mate Choice of Male Cuticular Hydrocarbons in Drosophila simulans
Recent research has highlighted the potential importance of environmental and genotype-by-environment (G×E) variation in sexual selection, but most studies have focussed on the expression of male sexual traits. Consequently, our understanding of genetic variation for plasticity in female mate choice is extremely poor. In this study we examine the genetics of female mate choice in Drosophila sim...
متن کاملFetal Vegf Genotype is More Important for Abortion Risk than Mother Genotype
Background VEGF gene has been reported to be related with many diseases and recurrent pregnancy loss in various studies. VEGF polymorphisms are risk factors for pregnancy losses, and generally studies report only women’s genetic analyses. To evaluate the association between VEGF A C405G, C460T, C936T and C2578A polymorphisms and spontaneous abortion, we studied the genotypes of spontaneously a...
