Disruptive selection with fixed optima

Disruptive selection with fixed optima

Summary The effect of artificial disruptive selection using fixed optima instead of selecting extreme phenotypes was investigated with the character sternopleural chaeta number in Drosophila melanogaster. The prediction that this selection will lead to a bimodal phenotypic distribution is not suppor...
