Inversion polymorphism, longevity, and body size in a natural population of Drosophila buzzatii

In this study we present the results of an analysis of differential longevity associated with Drosophila buzzatii second chromosome inversion karyotypes based on the assessment of more than 1000 individuals collected in a natural population. Comparisons of inversion frequencies between emerged and b...
