Genetic variation of morphological traits in Drosophila melanogaster under poor nutrition: isofemale lines and offspring–parent regression
Variation of three morphological traits (thorax length, wing length and sternopleural bristle number) was examined in Drosophila melanogaster reared on a medium with low yeast content and on a standard medium usi...

Variation in morphological traits of Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) under nutritional stress
The effect of nutritional stress on phenotypical and genetic variation was examined for five morphological traits (thorax length, wing length, sternopleural chaeta number, abdominal chaeta number and arista br...

Stress temperatures and quantitative variation in Drosophila melanogaster
Using an isofemale line analysis, we analysed the consequences of extreme rearing temperatures for genetic variation in quantitative characters in Drosophila melanogaster. Three types of characters were used: lif...

Variation of allozyme loci in populations of Drosophila melanogaster from the former USSR
Variation of eight allozyme loci, Acph, Adh, Est-6, Est-C, α-Gpdh, Idh (NADP-dependent), 6-Pgd and Pgm, was studied in 20 populations of Drosophila melanogaster from the territory of the former USSR, including Ea...

Variation in wing length in Eurasian natural populations of Drosophila melanogaster
A study of 16 natural populations of Drosophila melanogaster from Eastern Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia has revealed a cline in wing length associated with geographical position of the populations. Wing l...
