The evolutionary history of drosophila buzzatii. Xxiv. second chromosomeinversions have different average effects on thorax length

We demonstrate a genetic correlation between rearrangements of the second chromosome of D. buzzatii and thorax length, as a measure of body size. The results indicate that 2j and 2jz.3 arrangements are correlated with large size, whereas 2st arrangement is correlated with small size. Someinversions...
