Natural variation in the regulation of neurodevelopmental genes modifies flight performance in Drosophila.
The winged insects of the order Diptera are colloquially named for their most recognizable phenotype: flight. These insects rely on flight for a number of important life history traits, such as dispersal, foraging, and courtship. Despite the importance of flight, relatively little is known about the...
