Measurement of Fitness and Its Components in Six Laboratory Strains of DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER
T Yamazaki. Genetics. 1984 Sep.
Abstract
Six laboratory strains of Drosophila melanogaster were used to measure "net fitness" and its components by interspecific competition with D. hydei using 100 experimental populations. The "total competitive ability," an estimate of net fitness measured in these competition experiments, was tightly correlated with another measure of net fitness, the population size, in single-species experiments (phenotypic correlation r(p) = 0.675 and genotypic correlation r(g) = 0.997). Other components of fitness were also measured simultaneously, and the correlation with the net fitness was calculated. The very high correlation between two measurements of net fitness and lower correlations between net fitness and components of fitness suggests that these net fitness measures are more reliable estimates of the "real net fitness" than the components of fitness.
