Phenotypic plasticity of abdomen pigmentation in two geographic populations of Drosophila melanogaster: male-female comparison and sexual dimorphism.

Genetica - 1 Apr 2009

Gibert P, Moreteau B, David J R

Abstract excerpt

In Drosophila melanogaster male, the last abdominal tergites (A5-A6) are completely dark due to a strong internal constraint while, in female, all abdominal tergites (A2-A7) are phenotypically variable and highly plastic. Male A2-A4 are quite similar to those of female, but their plasticity was never investigated. In this paper, we compared the phenotypic plasticity of A2-A4 in both sexes in order to know if the...
