Responses to Selection on Flight Behavior in a Migratory Population of Milkweed Bug (Oncopeltus fasciatus)

The nature of genetic variation and covariation in milkweed bugs is examined. Results of the study indicated that additive genetic variation for wing length had not been exhausted in either line studied.
