Plasticity of Drosophila melanogaster wing morphology: effects of sex, temperature and density
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
An adjusted ellipse to the contour of the wings of Drosophila is used as an experimental model to study phenotypic plasticity and a general pattern could be identified for the shape dependent variation: when wings become larger they become longer and the second, fourth and fifth longitudinal veins get closer to the tip of the wing.
