Desiccation resistance and mating behaviour in laboratory populations of Drosophila simulans originating from the opposing slopes of Lower Nahal Oren (Israel)
E Gefen, O Brendzel - Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2011 - academic.oup.com
Abstract Lower Nahal Oren in Northern Israel, often referred to as 'Evolution Canyon', has
been proposed as a microscale model site for ecological evolution. However, conflicting …
