Abstract excerpt
Tropical fruit flies (Drosophilidae) differ from temperate drosophilids in several ecophysiological traits, such as desiccation tolerance. Moreover, many species show significant differences in desiccation tolerance across geographical populations. Fruit flies from the tropical and subtropical Indian subcontinent show a clinal pattern for desiccation tolerance which is similar for more than a dozen species...
