SEASONAL VARIATIONS IN QUANTITATIVE TRAITS OF

‘Traditional morphometrics’ allows us to decompose morphological variation into its major independent sources, identifying them usually as size and shape. To compare and investigate the properties of size and shape in natural populations of Drosophila takahashii, estimating their seasonal changes, we carried out collections on two different occasions i.e. winter and summer. In the present study the data clearly shows that mean trait values are higher for winter population as compared to summer population
