Rapid evolution of wing size clines in Drosophila subobscura.

Genetica - 1 Jan 2001

Gilchrist G W, Huey R B, Serra L

Abstract excerpt

Parallel latitudinal clines across species and continents provide dramatic evidence of the efficacy of natural selection, however little is known about the dynamics involved in cline formation. For example, several drosophilids and other ectotherms increase in body and wing size at higher latitudes. Here we compare evolution in an ancestral European and a recently introduced (North America) cline in wing size and...
