Characterization of the genetic architecture underlying eye size variation within Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila simulans

The compound eyes of insects exhibit striking variation in size, reflecting adaptation to different lifestyles and habitats. However, the genetic and developmental bases of variation in insect eye size is poorly understood, which limits our understanding of how these important morphological differen...
