Abstract excerpt

Nutrition is an important determinant of an animal's survival and fitness. Phenotypic plasticity allows a genotype to adjust life history traits to changes in its nutritional environment, and it varies among individuals. We used a Drosophila melanogaster isogenic panel to characterize variation in nutritional plasticity for fecundity by feeding flies diets differing in their yeast content and counting the number...
