2006 journal article

Phenotypic variation and natural selection at Catsup, a pleiotropic quantitative trait gene in Drosphila

CURRENT BIOLOGY, 16(9), 912–919.

By: M. Carbone n, K. Jordan n, R. Lyman n, S. Harbison  n, J. Leips*, T. Morgan n, M. DeLuca n, P. Awadalla n, T. Mackay n

MeSH headings : Animals; Catecholamines / metabolism; Drosophila / anatomy & histology; Drosophila / genetics; Drosophila Proteins / chemistry; Drosophila Proteins / genetics; Drosophila melanogaster / anatomy & histology; Drosophila melanogaster / genetics; Female; Genetic Variation; Genotype; Longevity / genetics; Male; Molecular Sequence Data; Motor Activity / genetics; Phenotype; Quantitative Trait Loci; Quantitative Trait, Heritable; Selection, Genetic
TL;DR: Molecular population genetic analyses of Catsup sequences are consistent with balancing selection maintaining multiple functional polymorphisms and identify potentially functional variants in protein coding regions that have large effects and are not common. (via Semantic Scholar)

2005 review

Quantitative trait loci with age-specific effects on fecundity in Drosophila melanogaster

[Review of ]. GENETICS, 172(3), 1595–1605.

By: J. Leips n, P. Gilligan n & T. Mackay  n

MeSH headings : Aging / genetics; Aging / physiology; Animals; Animals, Inbred Strains; Drosophila melanogaster / genetics; Drosophila melanogaster / physiology; Epistasis, Genetic / physiology; Female; Fertility / genetics; Genetic Markers; Genetic Variation / physiology; Male; Quantitative Trait Loci
TL;DR: The results suggest that different loci contribute to the variation in fecundity as the organism ages, and provide support for the mutation accumulation theory of aging as applied to reproductive senescence. (via Semantic Scholar)

2002 journal article

The complex genetic architecture of Drosophila life span

EXPERIMENTAL AGING RESEARCH, 28(4), 361–390.

By: J. Leips n & T. Mackay  n

MeSH headings : Animals; Chimera; Crosses, Genetic; Drosophila melanogaster / genetics; Drosophila melanogaster / physiology; Epistasis, Genetic; Female; Genetic Variation; Genotype; Longevity / genetics; Male; Quantitative Trait Loci; Sexual Behavior, Animal
TL;DR: All of the QTL mapping data for Drosophila life span is summarized, the additive allelic effects and dominance of QTL were highly sex-specific, and future prospects for disentangling the genetic and environmental influences on this trait are outlined. (via Semantic Scholar)

1999 journal article

The comparative expression of life-history traits and its relationship to the numerical dynamics of four populations of the least killifish

JOURNAL OF ANIMAL ECOLOGY, 68(3), 595–616.

By: J. Leips n & J. Travis *

author keywords: body size; community composition; demography; density dependence; life-history variation; poeciliid fish; population dynamics
TL;DR: The effects of density on female body size are the major avenue for negative feedback of population density on the subsequent dynamics through life-history expression, and if the variation in offspring size among populations is adaptive, it may be a prominent example of density-dependent life- history evolution.
