Adaptation ability to varying environmental conditions, makes the organism able to survive. Drosophila melanogaster is a species originated from Africa and spread all around the world. It can live in a wide range of habitats through its high adaptability to new environments. Besides its global distribution, Drosophila melanogaster shows seasonal adaptations to the local climate. Temperature, as an environmental factor, is the most important component of seasonality that affects the biological processes and has a major effect on ectotherms’ physiology and fitness. As stated in life history theory, adaptive changes are shaped both by the organisms’ genotype and the responses to the environmental changes. Likewise, seasonal changes in ...
