Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have shown that selection for starvation resistance in Drosophila melanogaster results in delayed eclosion and increased adult fat stores. It is assumed that these traits are caused by the starvation selection pressure, but its mechanism is unknown. We found that our starvation-selected (SS) population stores more fat during larval development and has extended larval development and pupal...
