Abstract excerpt
To define the components of variation for wing shape in Drosophila in relation to what is known about the developmental control of wing patterning, we have characterized shape variation in the wings of 12 randomly chosen highly inbred lines. Despite large differences in wing size between males and females, and between flies reared at 18 degrees C or 25 degrees C, wing shape is remarkably unaffected by these...
