Desiccation resistance and pigmentation variation reflects bioclimatic differences in the Drosophila americana species complex
Abstract Background Disentangling the selective factors shaping adaptive trait variation is an important but challenging task. Many studies—especially in Drosophila—have documented trait variation along latitudinal or altitudinal clines, but frequently lack resolution about specific environmental gr...
