The temperature–size rule, the observation that most ectotherms grow faster but reach smaller size at higher temperatures, has defied a general explanation. Here, the temperature–size rule in Drosophila aldrichi and Drosophila buzzatii is investi

Sperm length is highly variable, both between and within species, but the evolutionary significance of this variation is poorly understood. Sexual selection on sperm length requires a significant additive genetic variance, but few studies have actual

Many latitudinal clines exist in Drosophila melanogaster: in adult body size, in allele frequency at allozyme loci, and in frequencies of common cosmopolitan inversions. The question is raised whether these latitudinal clines are causally related. Th

Contrary to the conventional wisdom ‘bigger is better’, evolution at high temperature invariably leads to small individuals in Drosophila melanogaster. Natural selection is known to be responsible, meaning that genotypes that are small because of

Understanding adaptive phenotypic variation is one of the most fundamental problems in evolutionary biology. Genes involved in adaptation are most likely those that affect traits most intimately connected to fitness: life-history traits. The genetics

Because of their higher evolvability, sexuals may have an advantage relative to asexual organisms in a competitive environment with many biotic interactions. We tested this idea using sexual and apomictic Taraxacum, dandelions. Taraxacum seedlings we

Many 1-dimensional discrete time ecological models contain a sensitivity parameter that does not affect the dynamic complexity of these models. We show that genetic variability in this parameter can have a strong effect on population dynamics. We inc

It is implicit in earlier work that simple population genetic models with constant fertility selection at one locus with two alleles can have non-equilibrium dynamics. But the nature of these dynamics has never been investigated in detail. We show th

Plasticity in wing characters was investigated in lines selected for long and short wing length and for long and short thorax length in Drosophila melanogaster. Selection lines were reared at 20°C and at 25°C. All lines were raised across a tempera
