Monthly Temperatures and Wing Centroid Sizes of Fruit Fly Specimens Drosophila (fruit flies) have generation times of days, so seasonal changes in rainfall and other environmental conditions can drive seasonal fluctuations in chromosome rearrangements in species such as D. persimilis and D. mediopunctata. Drosophila body size (for which wing centroid size serves as a proxy measure) correlates with life span. Banu Şebnem Önder and Cansu Fidan Aksoy measured the wing sizes of members of a D. melanogaster population in Yeşilöz, Turkey, that were collected monthly between May and October over three years. Their research suggests that Drosophila collected in relatively warmer months should tend to have a longer life span, as is illustrated by the finding that <u>________</u> Which choice most effectively uses data from the table to complete the assertion?
