Adaptation to different climates results in divergent phenotypic plasticity of wing size and shape in an invasive drosophilid.

Journal of genetics - 1 Dec 2008

Abstract excerpt

The phenotypic plasticity of wing size and wing shape of Zaprionus indianus was investigated in relation to growth temperature (17 degrees C to 31 degrees C) in two natural populations living under different climates, equatorial and subtropical. The two populations were clearly distinguished not only by their wing size (the populations from the colder climate being bigger in size), but also by the shape of the...
