Quantitative trait loci for thermotolerance phenotypes in Drosophila melanogaster

Morgan, T. J., & Mackay, T. F. C. (2006, January 11). Heredity.

By: T. Morgan n & T. Mackay n

author keywords: chill-coma recovery; environmental stress; heat-stress resistance; temperature stress; QTL
MeSH headings : Adaptation, Physiological / genetics; Animals; Cold Temperature; Drosophila melanogaster / genetics; Genetic Variation; Hot Temperature; Phenotype; Quantitative Trait Loci
topics (OpenAlex): Physiological and biochemical adaptations; Animal Behavior and Reproduction; Insect-Plant Interactions and Control
TL;DR: A mapping population of recombinant inbred lines is used to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) that affect variation in both heat- and cold-stress resistance in D. melanogaster, suggesting that overlapping but generally unique genetic architectures underlie resistance to low- and high-temperature extremes.

ONTOGENIES IN MICE SELECTED FOR HIGH VOLUNTARY WHEEL-RUNNING ACTIVITY. I. MEAN ONTOGENIES

Morgan, T. J., Garland, T., & Carter, P. A. (2003, March 1). Evolution.

author keywords: artificial selection; body mass; correlated characters; food consumption; ontogeny; wheel running

topics (OpenAlex): Genetics and Physical Performance; Neurobiology and Insect Physiology Research; Sports Performance and Training
TL;DR: Overall the results demonstrate strong effects of early‐age selection, genetic drift, and environmental variation on the evolution and expression of behavioral and morphological ontogenies, with selection changing not only the position of the morphologicalOntogeny but both the position and shape of the behavioral ontogeny.
