Drosophila, or fruit flies, have short generation times, so seasonal environmental changes can affect traits in a population. Body size, for which wing centroid size serves as a proxy measure, correlates with life span. Banu Sebnem Onder and Cansu Fidan Aksoy measured wing sizes of D. melanogaster specimens collected monthly in Yeşilöz, Turkey. Their research suggests that Drosophila collected in relatively cooler months should tend to have a shorter life span, as is illustrated by the finding that ______ Which choice most effectively uses data from the table to complete the assertion?
