[Interaction of directional and stabilizing selection for wing characteristics in Drosophila melanogaster].
The effects of interaction of artificial directional and stabilizing selection were studied using a recessive mutation of Drosophila melanogaster radius incompletus which causes interruption of the second longitudinal wing vein (L2). The character under directional selection was the length of the proximal segment of L2; stabilizing selection was conducted for a complex of morphometric wing characters. Three experimental designs in three replications were used: 1) directional and stabilizing selection; 2) directional selection; 3) unselected controls. The dynamics and variation of the character under directional selection was shown to be different in the stabilized and unstabilized lines. Coefficient of variation which increased in the unstabilized lines remained at the same level in the stabilized lines and in the controls. The results are in agreement with those of the previous experiment, where directional selection was conducted for a behavioral trait, which suggests general character of the relationships observed.
