Linking genome size variation to population phenotypic variation within the rotifer, Brachionus asplanchnoidis

Claus-Peter Stelzer et al. take advantage of genome size variation within a natural population of the rotifer, Brachionus asplanchnoidis, to investigate the effects of genome size on phenotypic correlates, such as cell size and development time. Their results suggest a positive correlation between g...

Sumario:Claus-Peter Stelzer et al. take advantage of genome size variation within a natural population of the rotifer, Brachionus asplanchnoidis, to investigate the effects of genome size on phenotypic correlates, such as cell size and development time. Their results suggest a positive correlation between genome size and female adult body size, egg size, and development time.
