Desiccation resistance and pigmentation variation reflects bioclimatic differences in the Drosophila americana species complex.

BMC evolutionary biology - 6 Nov 2019

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Disentangling the selective factors shaping adaptive trait variation is an important but challenging task. Many studies-especially in Drosophila-have documented trait variation along latitudinal or altitudinal clines, but frequently lack resolution about specific environmental gradients that could be causal selective agents, and often do not investigate covariation between traits simultaneously.
