Аннотация (краткое описание)
The effects of chlorine-organic insecticide endosulfane (thiodan) on phenotypic and genetic variation in four morphological traits of Drosophila melanogaster (wing length, thorax length, the number of orbital bristles and the number of sternopleural bristles) were examined. In addition, the effect of this pesticide on stability of development measured as fluctuating asymmetry of bilateral traits was estimated. On the medium with endosulfane, phenotypic variation of morphometric traits was significantly higher. No difference in fluctuating asymmetry between the stressed and the control samples was found. The among-line variance of morphometric traits of flies reared on the endosulfane-containing medium was significantly higher as compared to the corresponding variance under control conditions. The efficiency of using fluctuating asymmetry and phenotypic variation of morphometric and meristic traits as indicators of environmental stress in insect populations is discussed.DOI

Практическое значение
The study demonstrates that exposure to the insecticide endosulfan increases phenotypic and genetic variability in Drosophila melanogaster. The results can be used for environmental monitoring, assessment of pesticide impacts, and the development of bioindicators for detecting environmental stress in insect populations.Количество цитирований
