The phenotypic plasticity of some quantitative traits of two colonizing populations of Drosophila subobscura (Davis and Eureka, California) was studied. Temperature effects and the effect of rearing in the laboratory were studied. Laboratory rearing during four generations at 18ºC significantly increased the wing and tibial length. This increase was similar to that obtained when the flies were reared at 13ºC during two generations.The low temperature environment can be considered more stressful for females than for males, as shown by the increase of phenotypic variance. The two populations analyzed had great phenotypic plasticity in spite of the genetic bottleneck during the colonization event. Our study shows that keeping flies for a relat...
