Selection for longevity confers resistance to low-temperature stress in Drosophila melanogaster.

The journals of gerontology. Series A, Biological sciences and medical sciences - 1 Mar 1998

Luckinbill L S

Abstract excerpt

One theory of the evolution of longevity says that improvement in life span is dependent on an increased ability to resist environmental stresses of all kind. Selective breeding of Drosophila melanogaster populations for longevity has demonstrably increased life span and also altered a number of other traits, such as resistance to starvation, desiccation, and ethanol fumes, and the ability to sustain longer...
