Effects on fitness were assessed by competing the wild-type chromosomes against balancer chromosomes, to prevent the production of recombinants. The measurements were carried out in the population cage environment in which the life history had been evolving, in an undisturbed population with overlapping generations, and replicated measurements were made on each chromosome to control for confounding effects such as mutation accumulation. We found significant variation among the wild type chromosomes in their additive genetic effect on net fitness. The system provides an opportunity to obtain an accurate estimate of the distribution of heterozygous effects on net fitness, the contribution of different fitness components including male mating success, and the role of intra-chromosomal epistasis in fitness variation."}],"main_file_link":[{"url":"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1688253/","open_access":"1"}],"date_published":"1997-02-22T00:00:00Z","extern":"1","publication_status":"published","issue":"1379","year":"1997","intvolume":"       264","publist_id":"1792","volume":264,"acknowledgement":"We thank John Sved for helpful discussions in the planningstages of the project, Brian Charlesworth, Alexei Kondrashov, Trudy Mackay and Steve Stearns for commentson the manuscript, SERC, BBSRC, the Darwin Trust andthe Royal Society for Financial support, and Ms N.
