Abstract excerpt
Ectothermic species such as insects are particularly vulnerable to climatic fluctuations. Nevertheless, many insects that evolved and diversified in the tropics have successfully colonized temperate regions all over the globe. To shed light on the genetic basis of cold tolerance in such species, we conducted a quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping experiment for chill coma recovery time (CCRT) in Drosophila...
