Intrapopulation genome size variation in D. melanogaster reflects life history variation and plasticity.

Intrapopulation genome size variation in D. melanogaster reflects life history variation and plasticity.

We determined female genome sizes using flow cytometry for 211 Drosophila melanogaster sequenced inbred strains from the Drosophila Genetic Reference Panel, and found significant conspecific and intrapopulation variation in genome size. We also compared several life history traits for 25 lines with...
