Temporal variation favors the evolution of generalists in experimental populations of Drosophila melanogaster.

Abstract excerpt

In variable environments, selection should favor generalists that maintain fitness across a range of conditions. However, costs of adaptation may generate fitness trade-offs and lead to some compromise between specialization and generalization that maximizes fitness. Here, we evaluate the evoluti...
