Phenotypic plasticity of body size in a temperate population of Drosophila melanogaster: when the temperature-size rule does not apply.

Journal of genetics - 1 Apr 2006

David Jean R, Legout Hélène, Moreteau Brigitte

Abstract excerpt

A natural population of Drosophila melanogaster in southern France was sampled in three different years and 10 isofemale lines were investigated from each sample. Two size-related traits, wing and thorax length, were measured and the wing/thorax ratio was also calculated. Phenotypic plasticity was analysed after development at seven different constant temperatures, ranging from 12 degrees C to 31 degrees C. The...
