The reaction norm for abdominal pigmentation and its curve in Drosophila mediopunctata depend on the mean phenotypic value.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Jan 2009

Rocha Felipe, Medeiros Hermes F, Klaczko Louis Bernard

Abstract excerpt

The idea of a general independence between the phenotypic plasticity and the mean value of a trait is, presently, a consensus. Here, we use the reaction norm of abdominal pigmentation (number of dark spots) of Drosophila mediopunctata in response to temperature, to test this idea. We raised eight strains, bearing two different chromosomal inversions and with varying mean phenotypic values, under 11 temperatures...
