Timing of puparium formation in Drosophila melanogaster is set by reaching a critical stage at which larvae attain the ability to pupariate. This critical stage is reached at a relatively constant size characterized by the mean critical weight, i.e.

The reaction norms in Drosophila melanogaster of thorax length, wing length and cell size were determined for 28 isofemale lines from three populations to investigate the role of cell size in determining the response of body size to temperature durin

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

Illumination by visible light (400 Ix) of cultures containing larvae of Drosophila melanogaster can reduce survival (Bruins et al., Insect Biochemistry 21:535-539, 1991). Here we show that the effect of light depends on the presence of propionic or a

Locomotor activity and its plasticity were investigated in Drosophila melanogaster lines selected for Long and for Short wings at two different temperatures. Flies were tested in a locometer at two different Activity temperatures. Locomotor activity,

The relation between oxygen consumption rate and larval growth rate in Drosophila melanogaster at different temperatures and food levels was analyzed to investigate whether different larval growth rates and adult body sizes are the consequences of di

Isofemale lines of two populations of Drosophila melanogaster, originating from France and Tanzania, were examined over a range of temperatures. Morphological traits showed distinct patterns in phenotypic plasticity; flies of the two populations diff

Wing beat frequencies (w.b.f.) and plasticity of w.b.f. were investigated in Drosophila melanogaster lines selected for Long and Short wings at two different temperatures. Flies were glued with their thorax to a thin thread and wing beat frequency wa

Prior studies showed that differences in alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) activity across genotypes of Drosophila are decisive for the outcome of selection by ethanol. In the present paper, the effect on ADH activity and egg-to-adult survival of combinati

The dependence of the flux in the alcohol-degrading pathway on the activity of alcohol dehydrogenase was investigated in Drosophila larvae. Third-instar larvae were supplied with [2-13C]ethanol as a dietary carbon source. Specific carbon enrichments
