Rapid decline of fitness in panmictic populations of Drosophila melanogaster maintained under relaxed natural selection

The parameters of the spontaneous deleterious mutation process remain poorly known, despite their importance. Here, we report the results of a mutation accumulation experiment performed on panmictic populations of Drosophila melanogaster without any genetic manipulations. Two experimental population...
