Abstract excerpt
Genetic variation in correlations among size-related traits of head, thorax and wings was examined in Drosophila buzzatii, by comparing the correlation pattern of the phenotypic correlation matrix (CP-Rp) between inversion karyotypes of the second chromosome. CP-Rp differed between some karyotypes in a natural population. CP-Rp in homokaryotypic classes of wild-reared flies, but not in heterokaryotypes, differed...
