Phenotypic plasticity across 50MY of evolution: drosophila wing size and temperature.

Journal of insect physiology - 1 Apr 2010

Powell Alessandro M, Davis Matthew, Powell Jeffrey R

Abstract excerpt

We studied the response in wing size to rearing at different temperatures of nine strains of Drosophila representing six species. The species varied in their natural habitats from tropical to temperate and one cosmopolitan. The evolutionary divergence of the species spans 50 million years. While some quantitative differences were found, all species responded to temperature very similarly: females increased an...
