Abstract:
Phenotypic plasticity, short-term evolutionary responses to selection and geographical clines in the responses of Drosophila melanogaster to changes in temperature and parasitoid attack will be studied using whole-genome and customised DNA microarrays. The data will allow the genes and mechanisms controlling the responses to these two important environmental challenges to be identified and understood in a way hitherto impossible.
