Monthly Temperatures and Wing Centroid Sizes of Fruit Fly Specimens

Month	Average high (°F)	Average low (°F)	Average male wing centroid size (mm)	Average female wing centroid size (mm)
June	80	56	2.01	2.31
July	87	62	2.02	2.31
October	67	44	1.98	2.29

Drosophila (fruit flies) have generation times of only 10–12 days, so seasonal changes in rainfall and other environmental conditions can drive seasonal fluctuations not only in chromosome rearrangements but also in physical traits such as body and wing size. To study this effect in D. robusta, a team of researchers measured the average wing centroid size of male and female specimens collected across several months. The team concluded that wing size in this species fluctuates seasonally, asserting that __________
