Abstract excerpt
The reaction norms in Drosophila melanogaster of thorax length, wing length and cell size were determined for 28 isofemale lines from three populations to investigate the role of cell size in determining the response of body size to temperature during the preimaginal stages. Both overall level and plasticity of the reaction norms of thorax length and wing length are highly correlated, leading to a relatively...
