Covariation of larval gene expression and adult body size in natural populations of Drosophila melanogaster.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Nov 2003

Bochdanovits Zoltán, van der Klis Herman, de Jong Gerdien

Abstract excerpt

Understanding adaptive phenotypic variation is one of the most fundamental problems in evolutionary biology. Genes involved in adaptation are most likely those that affect traits most intimately connected to fitness: life-history traits. The genetics of quantitative trait variation (including life histories) is still poorly understood, but several studies suggest that (1) quantitative variation might be the...
