Developmental and Genetic Mechanisms of Ovariole Number Evolution in Drosophila

Developmental and Genetic Mechanisms of Ovariole Number Evolution in Drosophila

The goal of the "Quantitative Trait Gene" (QTG) program is to identify genes and mutations that underlie natural phenotypic variation. My goal with this work was to contribute an additional model to the program: ovariole number evolution in Drosophila. In this thesis I describe the progres...
