Faster development does not lead to correlated evolution of greater pre-adult competitive ability in Drosophila melanogaster

In comparisons across Drosophila species, faster pre-adult development is phenotypically correlated with increased pre-adult competitive ability, suggesting that these two traits may also be evolutionary correlates of one another. However, correlations between traits within- and among- species can d...
