Heritabilities for the morphometric traits were moderate to high (0.24 0.58), with genetic and phenotypic correlations between the traits generally very high.
Their birth and death dates and breeding success are recorded, along with information regarding morphometric traits (including body weight and faecal egg count, referred to as FEC) and they are genotyped for several microsatellite markers, primarily for paternity analysis.
We present an automated system for the rapid phenotyping of Drosophila morphometric traits that allows performing artificial selection experiments with a substantially increased throughput than was previously possible while preserving data quality comparable with standard manual methods.
However, some of the morphometric traits in the North stands were significant positively correlated with the trophic level but very few significant cases were observed in the South data subset.
Traits subject to ecological selection (such as morphometric traits that influence feeding behavior or locomotion) should correlate with variation in the physical environment.
With the FlyCatwalk, we can measure multiple morphometric traits simultaneously: wing area, wing length, and wing width; the dimensions of the thorax, abdomen, and head; and two measures that we chose as proxies for body size, interocular distance and shoulder width.
We nevertheless expect island morphometric traits to capture at least some of the habitat diversity associated with soil heterogeneity (see Discussion).
