Regulatory and sequence evolution in response to selection for improved associative learning ability in Nasonia vitripennis

Regulatory and sequence evolution in response to selection for improved associative learning ability in Nasonia vitripennis

Abstract Background Selection acts on the phenotype, yet only the genotype is inherited. While both the phenotypic and genotypic response to short-term selection can be measured, the link between these is a major unsolved problem in evolutionary biology, in particular for complex behavioural phenoty...
