Abstract
This paper analyzes the interaction between resistance to free radical s, development under starvation conditions, sex, and its consequences to the lifespan of Drosophila melanogaster populations selected for de velopmental time and longevity. Our data suggest that the interaction between these physiological and environmental parameters is modulated largely by the pre-imaginal developmental time, since the response to selection for longevity extremes depends strongly on the previous sele ction for developmental time extremes.
