Summary

This data file contains means and 95% confidence limits of wing:thorax size ratio and mean wing-aspect ratio for 18 Drosophila melanogaster locations collected at 12 latitudes in 1993. The wing traits were measured in females and males of field collected flies and in their descendants reared under standard laboratory conditions (extracted from Fig. 1). Note longitudes in data are approximate.
