PLASTICITY, CANALIZATION, AND DEVELOPMENTAL STABILITY OF THE DROSOPHILA WING: JOINT EFFECTS OF MUTATIONS AND DEVELOPMENTAL TEMPERATURE
Abstract
The phenotypic effects of genetic and environmental manipulations have been rarely investigated simultaneously. In addition to phenotypic plasticity, their effect on the amount and directions of genetic and phenotypic variation is of particular evolutionary importance because these constitute the material for natural selection. Here, we used heterozygous insertional mutations of 16 genes involved in the formation of the Drosophila wing. The …
