N2  - Three lines from the Canberra base population were selected for increased abdominal bristle number for up to 28 generations with 10 pairs of parents and 20% selection intensity. The effective population size as measured by either variance of family contributions to the next generation or by the rate of inbreeding was gener-ally lowest when the lines were responding rapidly to selection. Consideration of the contributions of families in any generation to the lines five generations later showed that much of the genetic variation came from only few families in some generations.
