Colder environments did not select for a faster metabolism during experimental evolution of Drosophila melanogaster.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Jan 2017

Abstract excerpt

The effect of temperature on the evolution of metabolism has been the subject of debate for a century; however, no consistent patterns have emerged from comparisons of metabolic rate within and among species living at different temperatures. We used experimental evolution to determine how metabolism evolves in populations of Drosophila melanogaster exposed to one of three selective treatments: a constant 16°C, a...
