Inbred lines of mice derived from long-term divergent selection on fat content and body weight
Lutz Bünger,William G. Hill +1 more
TL;DR: The origins and characteristics are described of two pairs of inbreds derived from long-term selected lines for high and low body weight and fatness in mice.

Impacts of genetic correlation on the independent evolution of body mass and skeletal size in mammals
Marta Marchini,Leah M. Sparrow,Miranda N Cosman,Alexandra Dowhanik,Carsten B Krueger,Benedikt Hallgrímsson,Campbell Rolian +6 more
TL;DR: Results from this ongoing selection experiment suggest that parallel evolution of relatively longer hind limbs among rodents may have occurred very rapidly on geological timescales, in spite of a moderately strong genetic correlation between tibia length and body mass.
Direct and correlated responses to laboratory selection for body melanisation in Drosophila melanogaster: support for the melanisation-desiccation resistance hypothesis.
TL;DR: Traits related to water balance were significantly correlated with abdominal melanisation and were simultaneously selected bidirectionally along with melanisation, and desiccation resistance increased significantly in the dark-selected morphs as compared with controls.

Genetic variation and selection response in model breeding populations of Brassica rapa following a diversity bottleneck.
TL;DR: Rapid gain in genetically more uniform bottlenecked populations, particularly in the short term, may offer an explanation for why domesticators and breeders have realized significant selection progress over relatively short time periods.

TL;DR: "Wright's views about population genetics and evolution are so fundamental and so comprehensive that every serious student must examine these books firsthand."

The Results of Crosses between Inbred Strains of Guinea Pigs, Differing in Number of Digits.
TL;DR: Strain D, in my possession, traces exclusively to 3 animals of this strain, kindly presented by Professor CASTLE in 1915, and may safely be assumed to be homozygous in most respects.
Selection for Small and Large Body Size in the House Mouse.
TL;DR: The main object of this paper is to describe further the primary and secondary effects of a form of mass selection in an experiment designed to create for laboratory uses from one foundation stock both a small and large race of house mice.

Long Term Selection for Body Weight in Mice
TL;DR: This study sought to determine the limits of change that could be produced through the utilization of individual, progeny test, and family methods of selection continuing for 84 generations of selection to breed mice as large as possible.
