Evolutionary biology of starvation resistance: what we have learned from Drosophila.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Sept 2007

Rion S, Kawecki T J

Abstract excerpt

Most animals face periods of food shortage and are thus expected to evolve adaptations enhancing starvation resistance (SR). Most of our knowledge of the genetic and physiological bases of those adaptations, their evolutionary correlates and trade-offs, and patterns of within- and among-population variation, comes from studies on Drosophila. In this review, we attempt to synthesize the various facets of...
