Abstract excerpt
The molecular basis of species-specific differences in courtship behavior, a critical factor in preserving species boundaries, is poorly understood. Genetic analysis of all but the most closely related species is usually impossible, given the inviability of hybrids. We have therefore applied interspecific transformation of a single candidate behavioral locus, no-on-transient A (nonA), between Drosophila virilis...
