Zusammenfassung

A century-long progress in evolutionary and molecular biology has provided us with the tools to find adaptively evolving genes in several well-characterized species. However, despite these findings, defining the phenotypes influenced by these genes is still a long way to go. In model species such as Drosophila melanogaster, a phenotype-to-genotype approach to understanding adaptive evolution is desirable and feasible, given the recent progress in genomics and quantitative genetics. The goal of this study is to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) that contribute to temperature adapt...
