Abstract excerpt
The capacity to delay egg deposition in D. melanogaster females in the absence of a sexual partner is genetically determined and opposite types can be artificially selected. In natural populations, the relative frequency of these genotypes varies geographically and seasonally, with temperature as a selective factor. However, the retention duration of these genotypes can be modified by developmental temperature...
