Developmental stability opf Drosophila melanogaster under artificial and natural selection in constant and fluctuating environments.
Populations of Drosophila melanogaster in constant 25 degrees and fluctuating 20/29 degrees environments showed increases in developmental stability, indicated by decreases in bilateral asymmetry of sterno-pleural chaeta number. In both environments, rates of decrease in asymmetry were greater under natural selection (control lines) than under artificial stabilizing selection. Overall mean asym...
متن کاملThe growth of largemouth bass, Micropterus salmoides (Lacepede), under constant and fluctuating temperatures
Growth of largemouth bass, Micropterus salmoides, was tested under constant (1 5" C, 29" C) and cyclic ( I 8 h at 15" C, 6 h at 29" C) temperature conditions. Six groups of 10 fish each were tested; one group under each constant condition, and four groups in the thermocycles. The four latter groups differed in the timing of their feeding; one group each was fed at the start and middle of the wa...
متن کاملAdaptation to fluctuating environments in a selection experiment with Drosophila melanogaster
A fundamental question in life-history evolution is how organisms cope with fluctuating environments, including variation between stressful and benign conditions. For short-lived organisms, environments commonly vary between generations. Using a novel experimental design, we exposed wild-derived Drosophila melanogaster to three different selection regimes: one where generations alternated betwe...
متن کاملAdaptation to larval malnutrition does not affect fluctuating asymmetry in Drosophila melanogaster
Both stress during development and response to directional selection were proposed to lead to reduced developmental stability of an organism, commonly measured as fluctuating asymmetry. Here, we investigated the direct physiological (plastic) effect of larval malnutrition and the effect of evolutionary adaptation to this form of stress on developmental stability, measured as fluctuating asymmet...
متن کاملThe Development Of Drosophila Melanogaster under Different Duration Space Flight and Subsequent Adaptation to Earth Gravity
In prospective human exploration of outer space, the need to preserve a species over several generations under changed gravity conditions may arise. This paper demonstrates our results in the creation of the third generation of fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster (third-stage larvae) during the 44.5-day space flight (Foton-M4 satellite (2014, Russia)), then the fourth generation on Earth and the ...
