Data from: Cellular basis of morphological variation and temperature-related plasticity in Drosophila melanogaster strains with divergent wing shapes

Libéria Souza Torquato, Daniel Mattos, Bruna Palma Matta & Blanche Christine Bitner-Mathé
Organ shape evolves through cross-generational changes in developmental patterns at cellular and/or tissue levels that ultimately alter tissue dimensions and final adult proportions. Here, we investigated the cellular basis of an artificially selected divergence in the outline shape of Drosophila melanogaster wings, by comparing flies with elongated or rounded wing shapes but with remarkably similar wing sizes. We also tested whether cellular plasticity in response to developmental temperature was altered by such selection. Results show...
