Genotypic selection in Daphnia populations consisting of inbred sibships

Haag, Christoph ; Hebert, Dieter

In: Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2007, vol. 20, no. 3, p. 881–891

The genetic basis of fitness reduction associated with inbreeding is still poorly understood. Here we use associations between allozyme genotypes and fitness to investigate the genetic basis of inbreeding depression in experimental outdoor populations of the water flea, Daphnia magna. In Daphnia, a phase of clonal reproduction follows hatching from sexually produced resting eggs,...
