Evidence of dietary protein restriction regulating pupation height, development time and lifespan in .

Fitness and behavioral traits are optimized according to the rearing environment to ensure survival of most organisms including fruit flies Fruit flies are known to uphold various trade-offs in their lifespan, development time, fecundity, etc., to confer better survival in the particular exposed environment. The diet of plays a major role between larval and adult fitness or fitness related traits; its role in the regulation of correlations between pupation height, pre-adult development and adult fitness has not been studied empirically.
