Abstract excerpt
Genetic variation for resistance to high temperature stress was studied in populations of D. melanogaster and D. buzzatii from different geographic regions. Drosophila melanogaster individuals were presented with either a direct short exposure to a high temperature or exposure to high temperature after receiving a pretreatment, which increased resistance. Heat-stress resistance varied among populations, with one...
