The development of theory on density-dependent natural selection has seen a transition
from very general, logistic growth-based models to theories that incorporate details of …

Selection for increased and decreased ratio of eye span to body length was exerted on male
stalk-eyed flies (Cyrtodiopsis dalmanni) from Malaysia using replicate selected and …

Two sets of four replicate lines of Drosophila melanogaster were selected for large and
small thorax with controls. F, progeny of crosses between the selected lines within each size …

The duration of Drosophila melanogaster larval and pupal periods was measured in
laboratory thermal lines and in populations collected along a latitudinal transect in eastern …

Dietary restriction during development can affect adult body size and condition. In many
species, larger (high-condition) males gain higher mating success through male-male …

A long‐lived (L) strain of Drosophila melanogaster, derived from a normal‐lived (R) strain by
artificial selection, has a significantly different adult longevity. Previous work has shown that …

Over the last decade or so, studies on replicated sets of Drosophila populations, subjected
to life-stage-specific density-dependent natural selection in the laboratory, have greatly …

Environments that are crowded with larvae of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, exhibit a
temporal deterioration in quality as waste products accumulate and food is depleted. We …

Conditions experienced during development have often long-lasting effects persisting into
adulthood. In Drosophila, it is well-documented that larval crowding influences fitness …

A better understanding of the factors affecting host plant use by spotted-wing drosophila
(Drosophila suzukii) could aid in the development of efficient management tools and …
