Plasticity for desiccation tolerance across Drosophila species is affected by phylogeny and climate in complex ways

Comparative analyses of ectotherm susceptibility to climate change often focus on thermal extremes, yet responses to aridity may be equally important. Here we focus on plasticity in desiccation resistance, a key trait shaping distributions of Drosophila species and other small ectotherms. We examine...
