| Abstract: | Dispersal rates were measured in lines selected for high and low response of egg production to conditioned media, and responsivness of egg production was measured in lines selected for high and low dispersal. A positive correlation was found between these two traits, each of which had previously been found to have a simple genetic basis. It is suggested that in Tribolium castaneum the sensitivity to environmental conditions is mediated through a Sensor gene, which can activate either response, according to circumstances. |
