Abstract excerpt
Genes controlling the "lovesong" in Drosophila are particularly interesting under a evolutionary point of view as they could be involved in the reproductive isolation between closely related species and, as a consequence, in the speciation process. We carried out a survey of sex-linked molecular and behavioral courtship song variation in 27 lines derived from a natural population of Drosophila melanogaster in...
