Starvation resistance and adult body composition in a latitudinal cline of Drosophila melanogaster.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Oct 2000

Robinson S J, Zwaan B, Partridge L

Abstract excerpt

Latitudinal geographic variation in Drosophila melanogaster is pervasive. Parallel clines in traits such as body size, egg size, ovariole number, and development time have been found on several continents throughout the world. However, a cline in starvation resistance and fat content in D. melanogaster has so far been found only in India. Here we investigate starvation resistance and fat content in 10 populations...
