Geographical clines for quantitative traits in natural populations of a tropical drosophilid: Zaprionus indianus.

Genetica - 1 Jan 2000

Abstract excerpt

We analyzed natural populations of Zaprionus indianus in 10 Indian localities along a south-north transect (latitude: 10-31 degrees 3 N). Size traits (body weight, wing length and thorax length) as well as a reproductive trait (ovariole number) followed a pattern of clinal variation, that is, trait value increased with latitude. Wing/thorax ratio, which is inversely related to wing loading, also had a positive,...
