Abstract excerpt
To test the role of sensory feedback in song production. we analyzed the courtship songs of Drosophila males expressing auditory mutations. We compared the courtship songs of atonal (ato), beethoven (btv) and touch-insensitive-larva-B (tilB) to wild-type songs. These mutations have in common the fact that the chordotonal organs are disrupted. Since chordotonal organs subserve both hearing (in the antenna) and...
