The quantitative genetic basis of clinal divergence in phenotypic plasticity.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Nov 2017

van Heerwaarden Belinda, Sgrò Carla M

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypic plasticity is thought to be an important mechanism for adapting to environmental heterogeneity. Nonetheless, the genetic basis of plasticity is still not well understood. In Drosophila melanogaster and D. simulans, body size and thermal stress resistance show clinal patterns along the east coast of Australia, and exhibit plastic responses to different developmental temperatures. The genetic basis of...
