Pleiotropy and Life History Evolution in Drosophila melanogaster: Uncoupling Life Span and Early Fecundity

Populations of Drosophila melanogaster that have been artificially selected for late age of reproduction evolve longer life spans and, in some cases, reduced early fecundity. The negative correlation is widely interpreted as evidence of antagonistic pleiotropy. Here, we show that the correlation bre...
