Abstract excerpt
Large amounts of genetic variation for preferred temperature was uncovered in natural populations of Drosophila immigrans and D. virilis. On average, the former preferred 17.8 degrees C and the latter did 21.0 degrees C. Most variation in D. immigrans was found among isofemale lines within geographic populations, with no significant difference among geographic populations. Both intra- and inter-populational...
