Many animal species face periods of chronic nutritional stress where the individuals must continue to develop, grow and/or reproduce despite low quantity or quality of food. Here we use experimental evolution to study adaptation to such chronic nutritional stress in six replicate Drosophila melanogaster populations selected for the ability to survive and develop within a limited time on a very...
