Clinal patterns of desiccation and starvation resistance in ancestral and invading populations of Drosophila subobscura

As invading species expand, they eventually encounter physical and biotic stressors that limit their spread. We examine latitudinal and climatic variation in physiological tolerance in one native and two invading populations of Drosophila subobscura. These flies are native to the Palearctic region,...
