Figure 2


Fig. 2. Effects of body mass, development temperature and gender (females, filled symbols; males, open symbols) on (A) wing area and (B) wing loading of D. melanogaster. When wing loading was compared within a single developmental temperature (Tdev: 15°C, blue triangles; 23°C, orange circles, 28°C, red squares) larger flies had greater wing loading. However, this scaling relationship was dramatically altered when variation in wing area and body size was due to development temperature. Flies from colder temperatures had much lower wing loading (black lines indicate relationships across developmental temperatures). The black circles indicate mean body mass and wing area/loading for each treatment group.
