Genetic and environmental responses to temperature of Drosophila melanogaster from a latitudinal cline.

Genetics - 1 Jul 1997

James A C, Azevedo R B, Partridge L

Abstract excerpt

Field-collected Drosophila melanogaster from 19 populations in Eastern Australia were measured for body size traits, and the measurements were compared with similar ones on flies from the same populations reared under standard laboratory conditions. Wild caught flies were smaller, and latitudinal...
