Abstract excerpt
Here we studied three phenotypic traits in Drosophila buzzatii that are strongly effected by temperature, and are expected to be closely associated with fitness in nature. The traits measured were thermal threshold of male sterility, time for males to gain fertility when reared at a sterility-inducing temperature and transferred to 25 degrees C on eclosion and survival after development. The last two traits were...
