Abstract excerpt
The role of high temperature resistance in the world-wide cline of Adh and alpha Gpdh allele frequencies of Drosophila melanogaster was investigated. Experimental strains were used with different combinations of Adh and alpha Gpdh alleles but with similar genetic background. The survival time of adult males, reared at different pre-adult temperatures, was measured at 35 degrees C. To investigate the relationship...
