Cellular basis of wing size variation in Drosophila melanogaster: a comparison of latitudinal clines on two continents.

Heredity - 1 Mar 2000

Zwaan B J, Azevedo R B, James A C, Van 't Land J, Partridge L

Abstract excerpt

We investigated the cellular basis of two extensive, continuous, latitudinal, genetic, body size clines of Drosophila melanogaster by measuring wing area and cell size in the wing blade of adult flies reared under standard, laboratory conditions. We report that the contribution of cell size to an Australian cline is much smaller than that to a South American cline. The data suggest that neither cell size nor cell...
