Local adaptation and evolution of parasitoid interactions in an invasive species, Drosophila subobscura
Background: About 30 years ago, the Palaearctic fly Drosophila subobscura successfully invaded the New World, where parasitoid species diversity was thought to be lower than in the Old World. Hypotheses: Because parasitoids cause major mortality to Drosophila, the invader should benefit from escaping its natural parasitoid enemies and enjoy lower rates of parasitism than in the Old World. Also,...
متن کاملInbreeding and thermal adaptation in Drosophila subobscura.
Using a well-adapted Drosophila subobscura population (Avala, Serbia), a drastic experiment of inbreeding was carried out to assess whether the expected level of homozygosity could be reached or if other evolutionary forces affected the process. In general, no significant changes of inversion (or arrangement) frequencies were detected after 12 brother-sister mating generations. Furthermore, no ...

متن کاملThermal reaction norms for caterpillar growth depend on diet
Hypothesis: Interactions between diet and temperature affect reaction norms for growth rate in ectotherms. Organisms: Full-sib families of the small cabbage white butterfly, Pieris rapae, derived from field populations near Seattle, WA, USA. Methods: We used a split sib-family experimental design with two food treatments (collard leaves and artificial diet) and four test temperatures (11, 23, 3...
