Altitudinal clinal variation in wing size and shape in African Drosophila melanogaster: one cline or many?
Geographical patterns of morphological variation have been useful in addressing hypotheses about environmental adaptation. In particular, latitudinal clines in phenotypes have been studied in a number of Drosophila species. Some environmental conditions along latitudinal clines-for example, temperature-also vary along altitudinal clines, but these have been studied infrequently and it remains u...
متن کاملSexual conflict in wing size and shape in Drosophila melanogaster.
Intralocus sexual conflict occurs when opposing selection pressures operate on loci expressed in both sexes, constraining the evolution of sexual dimorphism and displacing one or both sexes from their optimum. We eliminated intralocus conflict in Drosophila melanogaster by limiting transmission of all major chromosomes to males, thereby allowing them to win the intersexual tug-of-war. Here, we ...
متن کاملMany P-element insertions affect wing shape in Drosophila melanogaster.
A screen of random, autosomal, homozygous-viable P-element insertions in D. melanogaster found small effects on wing shape in 11 of 50 lines. The effects were due to single insertions and remained stable and significant for over 5 years, in repeated, high-resolution measurements. All 11 insertions were within or near protein-coding transcription units, none of which were previously known to aff...
متن کاملSexual dimorphism in the wing shape and size of the carob moth, Ectomyelois ceratoniae (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)
پروانه‌ی کرم گلوگاه انار، Ectomyelois ceratoniae (Zeller) ، به خانواده‌ی Pyralidae و زیر خانواده‌ی Phycitinae تعلق دارد. علیرغم وجود شواهدی دال بر وجود اختلاف شکل و اندازه در جنس‌های نر و ماده‌ی بسیاری از پروانه‌ها و همچنین در اعضای این خانواده، وجود چنین اختلافی تاکنون در گونه‌ی مورد بحث گزارش نشده است. در تحقیق حاضر، دوشکلی جنسی در اندازه و شکل بال پروانه‌ی کرم گلوگاه انار روی چهار میزبان انا...
متن کاملTemperature-Related Divergence in Experimental Populations of DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER. I. Genetic and Developmental Basis of Wing Size and Shape Variation.
The effects of environmental temperature on wing size and shape of Drosophila melanogaster were analyzed in populations derived from an Oregon laboratory strain kept at three temperatures (18 degrees , 25 degrees , 28 degrees ) for 4 yr. Temperature-directed selection was identified for both wing size and shape. The length of the four longitudinal veins, used as a test for wing size variations ...
