Abstract excerpt
Variation of five quantitative traits (thorax length, wing length, sternopleural bristle number, developmental time and larva-to-adult viability) was studied in Drosophila melanogaster reared at standard (25 degrees C) and high stressful (32 degrees C) temperatures using half-sib analysis. In all traits, both phenotypic and environmental variances increased at 32 degrees C. For genetic variances, only two...
