Candidate regions under consistent selection in seed beetle (Acanthoscelides obtectus) lines experimentally evolved for early or late reproduction
Since 1986, replicate lines of the seed beetle Acanthoscelides obtectus have been kept under two experimental evolution regimes: Early (E; lines EI–EIV), where beetles reproduce only during the first two days of adult life, and Late (L; lines LV–LVIII), where egg laying is only possible after day 10. After over 200 gen...
