Abstract excerpt
We studied the effect of ethanol on several fitness components in six Drosophila melanogaster strains. Mating success, fecundity, egg-to-larva, egg-to-pupa and egg-to-adult survival and the number of emerging adults were estimated in a single series of experiments. The strains either had different combinations of genetic background and Adh genotypes with identical OdhF genotype or different Adh-Odh two-locus...
