Abstract excerpt
Two contrasting views can characterize the attitude of many studies toward reaction norms (RNs). An "optimistic" view attempts to use a linear model to describe RN variation; and a "pessimistic" view emphasizes RNs complexity without using any model to describe them. Here, we have analyzed the shape of 40 RNs of five traits of Drosophila mediopunctata in response to 11 temperatures. Our results, along with...
