We study with populations derived from 6 different altitudes vary between 35 m and 2173 m with a short distance of 40 km between these two elevations point in Firtina Valley-Turkey. We test for a clinal trend in longevity under experimental conditions in order to test for geographical variation. Lifespan of D. melanogaster populations was examined in relation to altitude, temperature (25°C and 29°C), sex and dietary yeast concentration (5 g/l and 25 g/l). | Leader: Banu Şebnem Önder Researchers: Nazlı Ayhan Pınar Güler |
