Images from a Drosophila melanogaster Wing loading experiment from populations experimentally evolved with mantid predators

Images from an unpublished experiment to examine whether wing loading (using thorax size as a proxy for overall size) had evolved as a result of experimental evolution of Drosophila melanogaster in the presence of juvenile Chinese mantids (Tenodera aridifolia sinensis). Experimental Evolution was conducted by Dr. Michael DeNieu while a graduate student, while this experiment and measuring was conducted by Dr. Alycia Kowalski while a technician in the lab. This work was done in the lab of Ian Dworkin while at Michigan State University.All images were taken on a Leica M125 Microscope, with a Leica DFC400 Digital camera using the Leica Application Software V 3.4.0.Naming conventions for fileSel/Con - selection (with predator) or control (no predator) lineages used.R1/R2 - replicate lineage used. For each treatment, there were two independently evolved lineages with and without the predators.HD/LD - Flies were reared under high density or low density conditions. M/F - Sex of individuallegs/wings/thorax - which part of the individual was imaged.The second set of images were from the same experiment, just redone to check scale.While this work was not used in any study, seehttps://www.biorxiv.org/content/early/2014/05/19/005322 for more details on the experimental design for experimental evolution.
