Experimental evolution for generalists and specialists reveals multivariate genetic constraints on thermal reaction norms.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Sept 2014

Berger D, Walters R J, Blanckenhorn W U

Abstract excerpt

Theory predicts the emergence of generalists in variable environments and antagonistic pleiotropy to favour specialists in constant environments, but empirical data seldom support such generalist-specialist trade-offs. We selected for generalists and specialists in the dung fly Sepsis punctum (Diptera: Sepsidae) under conditions that we predicted would reveal antagonistic pleiotropy and multivariate trade-offs...
