Notes:
Summary Drosophila adults emerging from larvae which successfully eliminated a parasite egg through the formation of a cellular melanotic capsule, were characterized by a decrease of their size and other biometrical traits and by an increase of the variability among individuals. Adults females also exhibited a significant reduction of offspring number due to lower oviposition rate and lower egg hatchability.
