This paper describes genetic variation in the slopes of various morphological scaling relationships for various traits. We found, surprisingly, that this variation in the nutritionally-induced relative size plasticity of the wing, leg, and body is caused primarily results from variation in nutritionally-induced plasticity of body size, not leg or wing size.
